As a translator I of course like deadlines, but if there is some default, the package maintainer should be aware of it also. Would they know about it without reading the documentation? Is it shown and easily changed when the program is run? If not, we could have some calls for translation which don't honor the specified deadline or have two calls in a row, where maintainer corrects the deadline in the latter.
