+1 I'm doing Orca's right now.

I suspect, however, what would make the lives of our translators even
easier than the elimination of markup is NoUnexplainedStrings. :) In
other words, all strings which we expect translated should have a
translator note explaining what that string is and means. Whether or not
that can be done in time for 3.6 is not for me to say. But I think it is
worthy of consideration as a GNOME Goal.

Take care.
