Imperative. But it really doesn't make much difference in my language. Verbs don't reflect case: in some situations, we add a temporal participle (more often a temporal adverb elsewhere in the statement), but context is best expressed in my language by the use of pronouns, for which gettext does not provide at all.
If I ever get our first OOo release sorted out, Youssef, I'll be able to get on with the glossary work. How's it going from your end?
