If you want your scripts to be translated, then you need to put your
scripts into a separate translation domain and ship the translations
with them. You can of course not expect the strings from your scripts to
be part of the standard script-fu translation domain.

Using a path in the script-fu-register call is deprecated. Please use
script-fu-menu-register.

You need to explicitly create the submenu using
gimp-plugin-menu-branch-register. This procedure should accept mnemonics
marked with an underscore.
