For language strings? So the single language file should contain strings for
all current and thinkable and future plugins? Won't that make it an unusable
system very soon? I think it would. It sounds like a bad idea. I would rather
have a system that better make the language strings for a particular plugin
more separate and independent. I want Rockbox to be able to work with an
unlimited number of plugins, each with their own set of language strings.

For the talking? If so, we would make a certain plugin-API version require a
certain voice-file version. I don't like this idea either. I would rather have
the plugin API offer some kind of talk function that translates the ID used by
a plugin to the ID that might be used internally, as then that function could
be voice-file version aware etc.

I haven't figured out the details of any of these points, and that's why I ask
for help on ideas on how this is done the best way!
