Seriously, is it really a good idea to store translated strings in the 
user configuration? What was the use case for this?

Storing *any* user visible string in the user configuration sound like a 
very bad idea. What happens if the user changes locale? What happens if 
the  translation for someting changes? What happens if the user changes 
the configuration setting (in one locale)?

I may be confused about the scope of this. Please educate me.
