babelfish is very funny ;-) Hopefully, someone already offered to help
translating.
   <file>Fichier</file>
   <save-flight>Sauver le vol</save-flight>
   <load-flight>Ouvrir un vol</load-flight>

Anyway, I agree with you point. In the product I am managing in my
company, we use IDENTIFIERS in the source code (here in a XML file)
with a simple file name. At run-time, the file name is search in a set
of include path that depends on the language tag.
If IDENTIFIER can't be looked-up, the string "IDENTIFIER" is used, so we
can see it is missing.
I think it is also the spirit of GNU gettext but it uses plain english strings as
identifiers.

Cheers,
