I'm curious how this helps. One of the things that are so hard about
translating manuals is that it is just a long flow of text, not mostly
independent strings.

Interesting. I'm not sure exactly what the impact of this is. I see no
harm in adding this (but I need to stare at it a bit longer)...

Thanks for working on this. I have a huge amount of respect for people
doing massive translations like this. That is HARD work.
