You get a point. Before, sysprefs were translatable but only by updating 
.sql files. Now, and I agree it's a huge improvement, translation can be 
delegated to translator rather than to developers. My concern about 
difficulties for translators to get syntactic well-formed sentences can 
have a solution if syspref description are well chosen and avoid English 
idiotisms. We must get feedback from translators about issues they 
encounter and then define rules for syspref descriptions.

It wasn't my intent and so I apologize if it was perceived this way.

I add a page in the wiki to go ahead in the right direction for 
developers and translators:

Native English speakers are invited to fix my misspelling and gallicisms.
