I'd like some comments from the translators regarding the possible
difficulty in translating Anjuta (and the modules it depends upon, gdl
and gnome-build).

Is it too hard to translate? If so, what is your opinion on accepting
Anjuta in GNOME 2.22? Should it be delayed a release while the
translation is perfected? Or can we accept it now just make improvements
during the rest of 2.21 and possibly 2.23?

During the meeting it was noted that Anjuta has:
+ 1969 strings total, another 225 by gdl and gnome-build. 8 langs 
  with >=90%, 18 langs with >=50%
+ 1/3 of the strings are difficult to translate

The latter (being difficult to translate or not) caused some
disagreement, so I'd appreciate some feedback.
