Would they need to be translated? I would expect the libraries to provide their own translation for strings.

A single It does, but luckily strings can trivially be carried forward if they don't change between releases, and strings which do change are made obvious (called 'fuzzy') to the translator(s). > developer leading the way and doing the German text would be a good > start. ;-) Surely a good start would be have all strings in gettext ;) kk > We could start putting text into .po files (after v 1.2) if you > really want to do this.
