I've been thinking about translations a bit too, and am wondering particularly about the way that we require our translators to write and maintain syntactically correct javascript, with all the knobbly bits about quote escaping. The obvious alternative might be for translations to be stored as tiddler slices (ie, a 2 column wiki table of identifier vs. translation), and I wonder if that might make life easier for translators.
