### Use case or problem

Right now, plugin names and more importantly their descriptions are in a language decided by the developer (most commonly American English)

### Proposed solution

Let the plugin developers provide translations for their plugin descriptions and/or use an automatic translation service.

### Current workaround (optional)

None

> I asked Liam the “Calendar” plugin developer to support other languages and he replied: “I would love to see settings and dialogs get translated!
