By the way, you were talking about wp_install_defaults(). Would there be a way to add content to my wordpress install by calling an XML import file with posts, categories, ... in wp_install_defaults()? That would be really helpful to be able to do that.

WP 2.8 has either moved or changed file names and or functions. I’ve just been going through this tutorial and it seams to be out of date already.

One of the non-obvious uses for translations is customization of strings. It's like doing an English-to-English translation from WordPress-speak to your own dialect. Stephen Rider,

There are all kinds of fun things you can customize in similar ways. I just discovered that you can put a /languages/ folder in wp-content, and thus avoid having to remember to transfer files every time you upgrade WordPress. (note sure why this isn't just the standard locaiton...) Some other interesting things in here to. :) You’ve inspired me to rummage around the source code a bit more.

That second link is an interesting variation on my method. Seems a bit hazard-prone, though, as any domain at all could point to it and affect the database.... Fixable I'm sure, but not fixed yet. :) Leonid — I’m familiar with MU. That second link is an interesting variation on my method.
