Hm. i didn't consider translation at all when writing that. Looking at
it from that perspective, I realize it's pretty darn hard to make it
translatable.

Maybe it can/should be rewritten not to try to do all those things in
one step, thus making it easier somehow? I'm afraid I don't know
enough about the translation system to know exactly what would go all
the way there, though..
