Basically the situation is still mostly like described in
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9307206
I.e. esp. for the plugins there still is no i18n framework. However, I believe 
that the other strings have stabilized at least somewhat, so it might indeed 
make sense to start translating. Note, however, that at a number of places 
you'll find strings that I forgot to put an i18n () around and also you'll 
find bad practices like concatenated strings.
This means, translating might not be a lot of fun initially, but on the other 
hand, probably those things will not improve until somebody starts working on 
a translation and bugging me about those problems. (BTW, as an additional 
problem, I just realized, I forgot to update the .pot-file for the release. 
I've just updated the version in CVS. It should be available as revision 1.3 
from WebCVS within 24 hours 
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/rkward/rkward/po/rkward.pot?only_with_tag=HEAD) 
or you could use CVS directly.)
Sorry, if I'm not making any more definite statements. I have too little 
experience with i18n to really tell, how much work will be required. A 
translation would be a very welcome contribution, however, and I don't think 
the work would be wasted, either.
