This is not the correct solution. Instead the plug-in is supposed to use
gimp_plugin_domain_register() to tell the GIMP core about the textdomain
that the plug-in uses for translation. The core will then be able to
translate the menu entry.

The rationale behind this is that the GIMP core needs to know the
untranslated strings to correctly handle stuff like menu branches.

BTW, it would be nice if we could release an updated version of
gimp-plugin-template for GIMP 2.4. Any volunteers to update the template
in SVN?
