What should this be, in your opinion?

Shouldn't the translator look at the changed lines anyway? I'm 
probably not understanding what you mean here.

Gettext has its own problems, I hear from someone working on Indian 
translations. It is a step forwards from us now, though. I thjnk it 
would not be too difficult to do, but time-consuming.

What is the opinion of the release manager about translations? Can we 
put localisation and internationalisation fixes into 2.0, must we have 
them, or should we wait?
