hello

I have few question about translation handling in TYPO3.

1. GLOBAL TRANSLATION FILES

Is there any steps taken towards to move translations files to "typo3" 
folder so it can be common for more that once TYPO3 installation? Or is 
this rather impossible or not important now?



2. EASY BE LABEL OVERRIDING

There is a way for changing FE labels of extension

For example:
plugin.tt_news {
  _LOCAL_LANG.pl {
     textRelated = Informacje powiązane:	
}


but there is no easy way to change BE labels.

The way I know is to change TCA in extTables.php

For example:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_news']['types']['0'] = Array('showitem' =>
... etc

but its not a way for newbee to change the labels.


Making changes in l10n is useless because first "Update from repository" 
will erase ones work. Using llxml export and then merge can be painful.

What about creating folder "l10n_local" so editing the files could be 
easily done by llxml?

l10n_local will override l10n labels so one can easily make his own 
translation for TYPO3 BE and extensions. (and move it from one TYPO3 
installation to another)
