Excellent, but I don't think it's a minor problem.
My own skin - originally based on pelt - is now far from the original one generally for translation reason.
The ProjectInfo plugin has now the same limits and I also have my own copy of it...

The configuration management begins to be complex for me when a file changes...

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: FOR-506
    Summary: Do not hard-code site-visible message strings in skin files
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

    Project: Forrest
 Components: 
             Skins (general issues)
   Versions:
             0.7-dev

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Pedro I. Sanchez

    Created: Thu, 26 May 2005 10:49 AM
    Updated: Thu, 26 May 2005 11:12 AM
Environment: N/A

Description:
Text strings like "Copyright", "Published", and "Search" are hardcoded into skin files like site2xhtml.xsl. When creating web sites in languages other than English the web developer is forced to create local versions of these skin files with the appropriated translations.

Instead, the DTD for the skinconf.xml should be improved to allow these translations to be specified in this file. This would make Forrest much easier to use.
