Hi,
we've thought about this approach as well and decided to not use it. The
reason is simply that it would needlessly duplicate the translations for
*every* single entry in the database. Even if we only use a translation for
the label, it would require quite a lot of storage.
Having thought about this issue again, I had an idea with a much smaller
memory footprint -- however, I need to think a little bit more about it
before discussing it in public.

Well, my first guess is that those examples are from a time long ago when
Savane did not support translations at all. In other words, you've just
found two bugs in the code. Those texts should be marked for translations
as well, just as any other text in the source. I'll fix that soon.
