Currently system messages used in extensions such as "Boardvote" and "SiteMatrix" are only editable in the MediaWiki namespace. Therefore new installations cannot will have to do their own translation. If you could include the messages in LanguageXx.php and translate them there, new installs could also use the translations. Alternatively the translation could be put in its own file for every extension or just one file for all extensions (ExtensionsLanguageXx.php or ExtensionXLanguageXx.php).
The extension can add its localizations to the message cache at runtime.
