Are you absolutely sure they are real duplication? My first reaction was that yes, there are multiple instances of a word, but in different contexts. In other languages that same word might need to be several different words depending on context. Also, capitalization often depends on context. > 3) There are still strings in source code that should be translated, > i.e. wrapped inside _().

The localizers do not need to localize them, but they can if they want to. > 6) There is some inconsistency in the way Show/Hide vs Hide/Show is > used.

File a bug for these exact locations please. Also an item from Philippe's email raised a red flag: 9) Some strings are written into the repository, meaning that these strings are not translated if you change the locale after they were written to the repository. We should file bugs for these instances as well. -- Heikki Toivonen
