array('class' => 'Points Count', 'title'= 'Points description on hover'));

I think "=" should be "=>" instead. Thanks, working!

this should work with translations.
echo Wrap($Author->Points . " " . T("Point") ,'span',array('class' => 'Points Count', 'title' => sprintf(T('Points description on hover'))));

Great, I added translations.

And what about the link? I used a href but I'm not sure how to direct it to each $user profile.

echo Wrap($Author->Points . " " .T("<a href=http://website.com>Points</a>") ,'span', array('class' => 'Points Count', 'title' => sprintf(T('Total Points'))));

you can certainly learn this stuff by looking at a few other plugins (as well as code), and learning about Anchor links.

reviewing other plugins and taking a php tutorial are the best ways to learn.

you can also see about 5 variations of the anchor link in use here:

Nice!

My suggestions include adding Yaga to the required applications list and using the Plural translate function. Something like echo Anchor(Plural($Author->Points, '%s Point', '%s Points'), 'profile/' . $Author->Name, 'Point Count')); should do it.

haven't tested your statement hg, but Plural is certainly better as it better uses vanilla functions.

BigPlural might even be a better option - if points get to be large numbers.
