okay then how about this:
A seperate description text file for each language, in a seperate directory,
or along with the .po files. All it's gonna be is desc-fr.txt or
desc-it.txtand wordpress can detect this along with the appropriate
textdomain and
install them. This way the issues with size and translation are solved.

Also the major problem with adding them in the PO file is that the
localization file is loaded only when the plugin is activated or
load_plugin_textdomain is called
