Description Kyle M Hall 2016-10-24 14:16:43 UTC
We should come up with a way of allowing plugin templates to be translatable so installations using multiple languages can have the plugin displayed in the selected language.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2018-02-08 07:27:52 UTC
I think this deserves more attention.

Plugins are a great way to add extra functionality to Koha, but by being non-translatable we invite forking instead of sharing and improving one version of the plugin together. I think a translation system is at this point much needed to move them further. 

I think this should be seen as a bug in the current plugin implementation even.

Hi Kyle, this looks promising! I am not sure I can figure it out myself, any chance you could spend some time on a prototype?
Comment 4 Magnus Enger 2019-04-15 11:31:36 UTC
Anyone want to work on this at the KohaCon19 hackfest? :-)
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2020-01-11 15:53:29 UTC
Tomas, I believe you had found a solution to this?
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2023-06-25 14:19:06 UTC
I know translations have been enabled in various plugins. Any chance we could implement one way to do it in the Kitchen Sink plugin?
