12 I don't know much about gettext, but I think it should be doable to have
13 plugins being able to both define their own strings, and use standard
14 messages like the ones mentioned. Possibly there could be a
15 standard-strings module for the other modules to use. This module could
16 then be used by other modules to get their localized strings.
