Just one comment to clear up stuff.

I18N is the stuff that makes the app properly internationalized. So,
unmarked strings, missing #include <config.h>, stuff only working in
some locales, UTF-8 conversion problems etc fall into this category.

L10N is the localization part. Changing existing strings and probably
everything that makes a difference for the translator falls into this
category.

Of course, there is some overlap between the two, but the above should
suffice to mark the difference. Marking strings for translation
definitely has an impact on the work of the translators for example.
