An i18n directory still works in Plone 4.  But when one or more locales 
directories have been registered for a domain, any po files for that 
domain in an i18n directory are ignored.

Oh wait, I may have fooled myself.  Translations for the plone domain in 
an i18n directory *are* picked up when the package is in the Products 
namespace.

Hm, the same *should* probably be true for packages in a different 
namespace as long as you register the package in zcml:

    <five:registerPackage package="." />

But that is not the case.  Seems a bug indeed.  I will see if I can find 
out where the problem is.


To test:

- Make a checkout of this package, where I also did the change I 
described in my initial mail:
https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.portlet.relateditems/trunk
- Run the bootstrap and bin/buildout.
- Comment out these lines in configure.zcml:
     <i18n:registerTranslations
         directory="plonelocales"
         zcml:condition="have plone-4" />
- Create a *Dutch* Plone Site, install the package.
- Optionally create French translations and try it with those and commit 
them. :-)
- Go to @@manage-portlets and see that there is a 'Related Items' portlet.
- Revert the zcml change and restart Plone.
- Now @@manage-portlets shows 'Gerelateerde items'.


A fresh release of this package is welcome btw, in case any authors are 
following this list.  I have sent a mail as well to kiorky.

Cheers,
