+		[EditorImportPlugin]s provide a way to extend the editor's resource import functionality. Use them to import resources from custom files or to provide alternatives to the editor's existing importers.
 		EditorImportPlugins work by associating with specific file extensions and a resource type. See [method _get_recognized_extensions] and [method _get_resource_type]. They may optionally specify some import presets that affect the import process. EditorImportPlugins are responsible for creating the resources and saving them in the [code].godot/imported[/code] directory (see [member ProjectSettings.application/config/project_data_dir_name]).
 		Below is an example EditorImportPlugin that imports a [Mesh] from a file with the extension ".special" or ".spec":

 		Plugin for adding custom property editors on inspector.
 	</brief_description>
 	<description>
-		These plugins allow adding custom property editors to [EditorInspector].
-		Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_inspector_plugin].
+		[EditorInspectorPlugin] allows adding custom property editors to [EditorInspector].
 		When an object is edited, the [method _can_handle] function is called and must return [code]true[/code] if the object type is supported.
 		If supported, the function [method _parse_begin] will be called, allowing to place custom controls at the beginning of the class.
 		Subsequently, the [method _parse_category] and [method _parse_property] are called for every category and property. They offer the ability to add custom controls to the inspector too.
 		Finally, [method _parse_end] will be called.
 		On each of these calls, the "add" functions can be called.
+		To use [EditorInspectorPlugin], register it using the [method EditorPlugin.add_inspector_plugin] method first.

 		Plugin for adding custom parsers to extract strings that are to be translated from custom files (.csv, .json etc.).
 	</brief_description>
 	<description>
-		Plugins are registered via [method EditorPlugin.add_translation_parser_plugin] method. To define the parsing and string extraction logic, override the [method _parse_file] method in script.
+		[EditorTranslationParserPlugin] is invoked when a file is being parsed to extract strings that require translation. To define the parsing and string extraction logic, override the [method _parse_file] method in script.
 		Add the extracted strings to argument [code]msgids[/code] or [code]msgids_context_plural[/code] if context or plural is used.
 		When adding to [code]msgids_context_plural[/code], you must add the data using the format [code]["A", "B", "C"][/code], where [code]A[/code] represents the extracted string, [code]B[/code] represents the context, and [code]C[/code] represents the plural version of the extracted string. If you want to add only context but not plural, put [code]""[/code] for the plural slot. The idea is the same if you only want to add plural but not context. See the code below for concrete examples.
 		The extracted strings will be written into a POT file selected by user under "POT Generation" in "Localization" tab in "Project Settings" menu.
