Is it really smart to add new files and hard code language strings in them? Shouldn't those use constants already, ready for outsourcing to language files? BTW: {{whoami}} should just output the current user's name oder IP without anything around it -- this way it would have uses beyond those imagined by the devs and without any unneccessary changes to files from Wikka. The strings "You are ..." and "Hello ..." should be outside of {{whoami}}.

Hi Masin - as you probably know, language files are outside the scope of 1.2 (they are available as of 1.3 that will be derived from trunk, while 1.2 is based on the 1.1.X codebase). So I'm afraid you will still find parts of 1.2 not ready for full GUI translation. OTOH I agree I should have separated language strings as constants.

And you're right, your point about externalizing strings is a good one (we could put those in the menu config files, for example) although nothing prevents you from writing a {{username}} action doing exactly what you wish ({{whoami}} is 5 lines or so and was really meant to be a menulet).
