Due to a lack of manpower it will never be perfect, of course, and the 
later a change is made, the greater is the risk that all the translator 
teams won't catch up. But isn't it somewhat contradictory to ship 
'translated' docs with strings which the translators have not even had a 
fair *chance* to translate?

I for one see Jeremy's proposal as a reasonable step in the right direction.
