I havn't yet come to a conclusion about that, because maintaining images for
every language is quite a big task - and it makes the download larger BTW.
Anyway, as a prerequisite this would require that the interface translation is
complete, e.g. the Eclipse language pack included in the release. Hm ... I
could just copy it into the uDig plugin directory, as a workaround.

Yes, the images were there. But when I checked the German html help pages in RC4
I found that the absolute internet links were not replaced by links pointing to
the existing image directories. Also the relative internet links were
unchanged, so they pointed to nowhere.
Your comment at the bottom explains why.

"Importing" became "Adding data" (and it was not me doing that). I have already
adapted the German pages to the change. The french ones still use "Importing",
so this needs to get fixed.

Means more work for me, since I would have to manually take every image from the
English pages and insert it into the German wiki version instead of just setting
a link. OK, it's good enough for the moment, but for the long term I could
envision something more clever.
