That's the same rationale as Johannes argued ... changed a script it's a
one-time work, having to work with UI+schemas is a each-time consuming
job without any real benefit.

I'm not talking about documentation, it can be perfectly kept as a
single po file, since it doesn't make any sense to split documentation
(GNOME Games is a different story and it makes sense there).
