Just as a small note, on what Lionel sent out:

There's already a bug report on this in Trac:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3089
All that's really needed is (a) a way to get the plugin description
into the POT/PO/MO files, and then (b) a modification of the code in
WP that displays descriptions, to run it through gettext using the
appropriate catalog name. There are already suggestions/patches for
(b) in that Trac report.
The problem is (a), in my opinion. Getting plugin authors to use a new
internationalization tool to add the description to their POT file
will be a problem... many don't even bother to internationalize their
plugins at in the first place, and others use some non-gettext scheme
they thought of themselves...

Jennifer
