In multilingual site (I use 2 languages) this text is not translated. Obviously because this http://drupal.org/node/322729 has not been taken into consideration in some parts of the code.

ln 39 return variable_get('faq_ask_help_text', _faq_ask_help_default());
I guess it should be: return t(variable_get('faq_ask_help_text', _faq_ask_help_default()));

This can also bee observed in v 6.x-2.0-alpha1

The page you pointed to is not the correct one for this case. There is another that I need to look for that explains how to make interface strings like this translatable. And it means you have to do part of it (using the $conf setting in settings.php).

If I missed some legitimate uses of t(), please let me know. Otherwise, translating variables as you suggest is the wrong way to do it.
