Thank you for the explanation. I'm very interested in a real solution
for the i18n problems. But I think you've missed the point:

You are talking about translation problems in general.

I'm talking about a small bug (and an easy fix).

And because of my mistake in cvs usage I'm wrong: These messages
only appear in HEAD, not in BETA.

And I still don't see the point not to translate them.
