Yeah, but that's pretty true of all the translatability stuff in
describe.c. I wonder if there's any way to set up tests for that.
The fact that the .po files lag so far behind the source code seems
like an impediment --- even if we made a test case that presumed
--enable-nls and tried to exercise this, the lack of translations
for the new words would get in the way for a long while.
