I see the problems here - but i'm not sure this is the best way to handle it. It looks a little complicated - and it also completely depends on the plugin developers internationalizing their plugins the correct way to begin with.
I think it's far simpler to have the plugin developer do their own translation files (maybe with a "how-to correctly make your plugin translatable" within our wiki so it's standardized) . Then along with the "support forum" link within Extend, other people could upload/share their translation files.
@mvlcek - Please feel free to draw up standards how plugin developers should handle translations within their own plugins and add it to the wiki. I think we can make this work without a huge ordeal within the backend core managing all these plugin language files.
Hopefully that made sense, but i think creating a whole system around translating plugin files is a little bit out of GetSimple's scope.
