Is it possible to translate comments of the help patches in 5.reference in
a similar
manner?
Not currently, but that is something I think we can do. I guess the trickiest part is the file format. I suppose there could be a .po file per-language-per-patch. I'd rather see all the translations embedded into the patch.
Just made the search-plugin keywords translatable. There's a [_ "name"] for the keyword, then a "keyword" which is not translated. Seems to work fine.
But again, notice that this just kicks the ball down the field for the non-English-speaking user. Sure, they can get a list of included "bandlimited" objects, but they all have english descriptions, patches, and readmes (if they have them at all).

Definitely true. But this is one step that needs to happen, so its definitely not wasted effort at all. Plus someone now can put [pd META] tags into their tutorials in whatever language, like Porres' portuguese tutorials, and they would be searchable.
