Is your suggested feature related to a problem? Please describe.

Plugin developers currently cannot provide different plugin builds for different languages. For plugins with complex logic, maintaining translations inside a single JAR is often harder than generating separate language-specific JAR files. This limits localization flexibility and makes it more difficult to distribute plugins to a global audience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to publish multiple language-specific JAR files for the same plugin version. During download, users could select their preferred language, and the platform would provide the corresponding JAR file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using a single JAR with built-in translations is possible, but for complex plugins it increases maintenance complexity and may not cover language-specific files, comments, or resources as effectively. Generating separate JARs for each language is easy to automate with Maven or Gradle and provides cleaner localization.
