A ver. Eu penso que se o poñen é porque se pode/debe traducir. Se realmente non se deberÃa traducir que non o poñan como texto traducible. Se por outra parte se desexa conservar ambos textos pois que permitan traducilo pero que o programa mostre automaticamente o texto orixinal tamén. Non vexo que sexa unha cousa que nós debamos discutir.
