How is it possible to add translations of strings to the felogin plugin? I slowly start to get the convention for templates (directing to the modified templates in the plugin's typoscript configuration) but that does not work with the locallang. The original messages are in English in the xlf format, located in the plugin's folder. I know this can be done in TypoScript but I do not like to have the strings defined so incosistently. (I guess modifying that original file is not the proper way.)

Overriding labels by TypoScript is the way to go. Manually editing the l10n files is a really bad idea - these files are overwritten on updating the translations. If the extension gets an update and new labels are added, you will want to perform the updates.
The change from XML files for translation to the XLIFF format didn't change anything in the best practise you should use for adjusting labels according to your needs. It's just another format with a standardized translation server (Pootle) that (in theory) allows some special features like e.g. plural forms.
Conclusion: Use TypoScript.
For the default language (no config.language set) use:
plugin.tx_felogin_pi1._LOCAL_LANG.default {
key = value
}
For a specific language, e.g. German, use
plugin.tx_felogin_pi1._LOCAL_LANG.de {
key = value
}
The best way is to use the following code:
ext_tables.php, e.g. of your theme extension with
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:felogin/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'EXT:theme/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_felogin.xlf';
and in this file you can use something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xliff version="1.0">
<file source-language="en" datatype="plaintext" original="messages" date="2015-06-30T21:14:27Z">
