I think this is a great feature if it's standard across the borad which I imagine it will be. I have a feeling elgg 1.8 has this feature as standard (so far). *Recommended

There are lot of exciting feature on the roadmap indeed ! (and a long post on elgg's artist-view which i find very enlightning on possible future features design).

This plugin is for those who operate an older Elgg version, and won't update the core for a (small) new feature.

I tried to make this plugin standard, using a generic trail scheme : Home > owner > context (tool)

if untranslated items appear, one can translate them using the displayed word as key, in the language file (typically, non-core plugins, or contexts like "login").

This code should work on all elgg versions since 1.5, as it makes no use of deprecated or renamed functions ; i haven't tested on 1.7 though..
