Hi :) L10n lists are currently having a massive argument/discussion (discussion is more accurate tbh) right now about the disruptive effect of minor changes.
I'm not sure but i suspect that getting such a UI change within the next couple of days might play out ok and catch the translators before they have put too much time into too many strings and then finding they need to repeat the work. If it's not likely to be just a couple of days then it'd probably be better for them if this sort of change didn't happen for a few months - or longer. There might be a chance of them automating something like this but it'd take ages to set something up and they haven't agreed on getting the automation bit sorted.
