Plugin localization?

   Hi there!

   Why don't use plugin authors gettext localization as bbPress itself does?!

   I start testing plugins for the german community at bbpress.de and find out that absolutely NO plugin could be used without direct translation. That's a pitty and I really wonder about this situation :-(

   Regards
   Jörg

   Many plugins do use the gettext functions.

   I know I always try to.

   Yes, I can't help but wonder why some of the most used plugins for bbPress (yeah, _ck_'s) are not localized? I looked into the code and saw that they use __() and _e() calls but lack the text domain so they can't be translated in the usual way...

   _ck_, did you hear that?? ^^

   bbPress plugins altogether have poor localization - maybe the framework isn't clear?
