Comment (by matt):

 ''' * agree, please create a new ticket with your specification
  * for exception there is no point trying to translate the few exceptions
 that would occur before the translations files are loaded. Everything
 after the call to {{{Piwik::loadPlugins()}}} (line 305 in
 /trunk/modules/FrontController.php) can be translated, but the few
 exceptions before this line cannot. I would suggest to go for
 Exception('Message in english') and Exception('IndexTranslation') : both
 of them would work. ie, if the dev doesnt care about translations, it's ok
 it stays the same simple syntax. If he cares, then he puts in an index and
 he has to add the entry in the english language file. The class name would
 be {{{Piwik_Exception}}}

  * the problem in the current architecture I can see is that we have to
 duplicate the JS strings, which is annoying. Is there any other solution
 you can think of?

  * other than that your changes are good :)


  * can you think of other things to be done in order to have a proper i18n
 support? I can think of
   * "right to left" language support
   * proper date translation handling
   * table column labels
