Menu entries are translated by default. Use can use 
marktrc("videomapping", "video") to mark your string for translation and

I don't know what debugger you are using.

The plugin won't be in the public list until you manually commit the 
*.jar file into the josm/dist folder. There are no nightly builds for 
plugins.
