--- Comment #9 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I wonder if a total switch is good at this point in time with the concerns
given. 

Pootle doesn't like the named placeholders ({}) for example, it gives an error
that is very confusing to the translators as it requires manually removing the
warning almost every time a file with those strings is touched. 

For context and plurals: This needs to be introduced by us manually in my
opionion, where it's needed and makes the most sense. Plural forms also have
the problem as mentioned above right now, causing trouble in translation.

So for the moment I think it makes sense to do these on a 'as needed' basis
more than doing a total of templates. For a lot of strings, I am not sure if we
would win a lot.

The adding of spans is good and bad: By not having the spans we leave strings
that appear together in one string. For some things this is nice, but it's also
bad because it's a bit hard to maintain at times and a little scary to new
translators unaware of the template dynamics.
