For anyone who wants to localize this excelent plugin, there's a bug on line 826 that makes impossible localization/internationalization
Line 826 should be like this
load_plugin_textdomain('subscribe-to-comments','/wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-comments/');
POT file is in extra folder, but localized PO files must be on subscribe-to-comments folder for this to work
I hope it will help to someone, or at least the author upgrades the plugin. Greetings.

and another unreleated bug - on line 1084
<p><a href=“<?php echo add_query_arg(’showccfield’, ‘1′); ?>“>
must be replaced with:
<p><a href="<?php echo attribute_escape(add_query_arg('showccfield', '1')); ?>">
This fixes some XHTML validation issues

@philippetrov: thanks for the small correction. Someone really should take the unnoficial 2.1.3 (which also solves mranderson's corrected line), add this, then upload the result as a new plugin...

Can someone explain me exactly what I need to do to localize the plugin? Do I only need to translate the content of subscribe-to-comments.pot where it says msgid???

The easiest way to make translations is by using the Codestyling Localization plugin. It allows you to translate directly in WordPress, without the need to download and upload files to test things.
Once you're done, if you wish to contribute your translation to the author you can simply download the resulting .mo and .po files and send them to the plugin author for him to include it in the next version.
See the plugin's official site for detailed instructions. Although they describe a quite old version of the plugin, they're still useful.

PS.: It has one extra advantage: with it you can delete translations you don't need, thus wasting less disk space. Although a small thing, this is a nice touch for those whose blogs are hosted on ISPs that charge for storage or provide small disk quotas.

Uhhhhh . . . bugs on line 826 and line 1084? POT file? My download for WP 2.9.2 doesn't have a POT file, and when I open subscribe-to-comments-now.php in Dreamweaver there are a total of 84 lines. I can't get this plugin to work on WP 2.9.2. Any suggestions? Thanks. -Stuart
@ mranderson. Made the changes on line 826, but my subscribe-to-comments-nl.mo in /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/subscribe-to-comments is still not loaded.
All good now. Had to add some translations into the configuration area in the WP Dashboard.
PS Have not tested plugin after hack as of yet

The Autor uses this to load the textdomain (translation file):
load_plugin_textdomain('subscribe-to-comments');This leads to the result, that the file will be expected at the main folder of the plugin. If you placed it there instead inside the "extras" subfolder, it would have been loaded.
But my plugin "Codestyling Localization" will generate translations at this subfolder anyway because of existance of *.pot file there and assumes load from this point. But this won't happen as long as the load call won't be changed into:
load_plugin_textdomain('subscribe-to-comments', false, 'subscribe-to-comments/extras');to avoid deprecated warnings since WP2.7 and allow online translations.
If you're interested in alternatives, I've rewritten the code from scratch and I'm currently working in adding new features:
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe-to-comments-reloaded
Check it out!
