IMO this would make sense in special cases, e.g. a plugin to connect with local resources only is justified in having a non EN interface. However, I regularly encourage plugin writers to provide a translation, or at least to make it translatable, so it is easy for others to contribute a translation. > What about other stuff from instructions, what is compulsory and what is not? > At > plugins.qgis.org we have this: > > "For a prompt approval, please check that your plugin: > * has no malicious code > * goes to the appropriate menu (Vector, Raster, Web, Database) > * has at least minimal documentation > * does not duplicate of existing functionalities or plugin, unless > there is a good reason > * has a proper license > * does not contain architecture-dependant binaries > * supports English language > * provides a minimal data set for testing > * has (in the metadata) a link to the code repository and to a bug > tracking system of > your choice (you can use github or other infrastructures, including > http://hub.qgis.org/projects" > > Maybe it is better to make compulsory items more visible and separate them > from > non-compulsory. We never agreed on a list of compulsory items. I personally check all the above, ask the author in case something is missing or unclear, and do not publish plugins without a bugtracker and a code repo, because I think they are necessary to assure the quality and make contributions easy; other reviewers however, can always do it.
