I retract my claim that translation of hints is not needed. It is needed if you use them obviously. There are two issue with hints: 1) Nobody understand the hints code, so it is difficult to maintain. 2) There is no list of hints currently, so this is a problem. I don't know how to fix 1). Point 2) can be used by using debtags[1]. This will probably solve the translation problem. Opinions ?
