[wp-hackers] Plugin Localization

[David Chait]

Sounds like the plugins/<plugin sub dir>/ approach would be the best for the 
long haul, as anything custom translated for a plugin should stay WITH the 
plugin.

I've also gotten requests to put my multi-file plugins into single folders 
for easier management, which mirrors the same issue (clutter & 'packaging').
