Contrary to what I assumed on #mer-meeting, there is indeed some translation loading support in settings transfer page side for third party. However, that code hasn't ever worked properly for what I can tell, it's trying to load everything it finds under transfer translation directory.

Now pondering if I should fix that or just remove the whole mechanism. It does allow to leave out some boilerplate in plugins side, but then again commonly qml modules load their own translations. Perhaps could do some fixing there, but encourage plugins to handle it themselves so they can do it as they see fit. Already now the plugins can just handle it without the help of transfer system.

Different sort of plugin but you probably get the idea: https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/buteo-sync-plugins-social/blob/master/src/twitter/twitter-notifications/twitternotificationsplugin.cpp
