[wp-hackers] Plugins and themes localization

[Stephen Rider]

I wonder if this should be added as a plugin header?

Name: My Plugin
Author: Me
.
.
.
.
Localizations: en_US fr_FR

...where the first in that list is always the "native" language of the un-translated plugin.

However it's done, +1 for standardizing a way to label plugins as localized or at least "localization ready".
