I cannot translate the permission rules. These are like: edit Bing Webmaster Center verification meta tag, edit Dublin Core title meta tag, edit keywords meta tag, etc.

I just have found a "widget:permission" string in the nodewords.module:411,412 lines. The code for this is:

  foreach (nodewords_get_possible_tags() as $name => $info) {
    $permissions = array('administer nodewords');
    if (!empty($info['widget:permission'])) {
      $permissions[] = $info['widget:permission'];
    }
  }

It seems tricky because I do not see there any translateable string but I can translate the 'administer nodewords' string. It would be nice to use real translateable stings, so I could translate these to "kulcsszavak meta jelölő szerkesztése" for examle.

Or, the other case: I do not understand the Drupal translation system. (I am a quite newbie...)

Sorry, but dynamic permissions are not translatable. This is a limitation of core :-(. Same issue in CCK and other modules...

'widget:permission' => 'edit description meta tag'

need to be 

'widget:permission' => t('edit description meta tag')

and may also need to be moved to hook_permission... I've never hacked around core this way... not sure if all works without adding them to hook_perm.

basic_metatags_perm() is missing and can have the static variables.

  foreach (nodewords_get_possible_tags() as $name => $info) {
    if (!empty($info['widget:permission'])) {
      $permissions[] = $info['widget:permission'];
    }
  }

may be removed from nodewords module. It doesn't look as modular as it should be.

I thought that the permissions were translatable strings only on Drupal 7.

I will fix this. Clearly, each Nodewords module needs to implement hook_perm(), or the script that extracts the strings to translate will not extract the permission strings.

The code has been changed, and committed in CVS.
Now the permissions are separated, and listed for each module implementing them.

Thanks for your report.
