I don't think that this is possible. Whats the point of separate plugins if all i18n strings must be in core VDR?
Distributions wont like that either: They like to have everything for a plugin in one package, and no dependencies to the core VDR package. Imagine that each plugin update would require a core VDR update to add the missing i18n strings...
Maybe there's a way to merge all .po files into one for translators, and split the results back to separate files for re-integration.
Actually, I don't understand the point of having all languages in a file, as a translator seldom does all those languages (at least I think so, maybe I'm missing something Thiemo is thinking of).
