I think this can just be patched out of the pkg-plist, but didn't want to just provided that as not sure it is the intent to not enable the translate plugin, or if my dirty build system is just doing dirty things. configure isn't listing the translate plugin as being enabled, and the translate plugin itself is no longer in the pkg-plist, but the xml schema for it is still listed in the pkg-plist. the previous plugin version definitely has a translate plugin based on running a pkg info -l against it.

but translate isn't even a plugin that seems to be enabled
