O.P. [suggestion] multiple language scripts and scriptinfo.xml
I had an idea in relation to multi-languaged scripts and how Plus! could help accommodate the users.  It would be to have multiple descriptions in the scriptinfo.xml for the different languages that the script supports.  You could just use a language attribute in each one to differentiate them and check them against the systems default language so the user can actually read it.  You could also have the ability that if the person's language isn't there then it just defaults to the first description listed.

I just thought with the coding of the next version of Plus! this would be a good time to ask for such a feature.

I like the idea, but it would seem a bit odd when you're install a script which has a Spanish description yet actually defaults to English in the script itself.

Well in that case the script should be better written and use MsgPlus.UILangCode IMHO

Good point, didn't know this existed. None of my scripts are multilingual anyway :P

In regards to your idea, I think it's definitely worth adding (as an optional feature of the scriptinfo ofcourse).
