Well I guess I figure out a way to get this to work, altough I really don't think it is the intended way.
I tried and tried to get the pony gallery plug in to recognize the the tab->description value, but nothing word work, in fact I am nearly convinced that the tab information is not even loaded.
What I did was just name the tab title (through the administration site->community builder->tab manager) as the constant I defined in the language files.
Is this proper?
