Added to the plog-1.0.1 branch!

if you look at the dictionary, it will be even less useful :-)

The slug is using for generating nicer permalinks. Users can type a
post topic and plog will format it a bit so that it can be used wtih
'custom urls' . For example if you look at this post:

http://www.plogworld.net/blog.php/plog_development_journal/2005/02/06/the_situation_regarding_plogworldorg

The topic of the post is "The situation regarding plogworld.org" but
the permalink is "the_situation_regarding_plogworldorg" so basically
plog removed all punctuation, spaces, etc, and used the title of the
post as part of the permalink (to make it more human readable)

In case users prefer to use a shorter "slug" than the one that plog
generates by default, it is also possible to type a custom one to get
for example a shorter version of the slug. This can also be used in
the case of other character encodings (chinese, cyrillic, etc), where
the function that generates slugs based on the title won't work due to
some php limitation so that users of other encodings can also use
'custom urls'.

Hope this helped...

Sounds good to me. This comes from here:

There hasn't been any change to the locale since 1.0 so whatever you
got should be good enough!

Let us know when you think that the locale is ready.
