agree.  I only started with one CLI-tool and with one case of non-wx 
transaltion in a GUI as a proof of concept.  Once things work well in those, 
the next step will be to localize *all* other CLI tools and non-wx 
translations in GUI tools.

I am aware of this.  I do not expect things to happen overnight, neither on my 
end, nor on the translators end.  But the long term goal is to localize 
everything.

That's OK.  Don't feel under pressure.  The merge of the new feature is more 
important than the localization.

what makes you fear so?  can you point me in a direction where I can read 
about the issue and try to solve it?  I have no experience with translationn 
to 2-byte strings.

OK, will fix.  No time now, but it is the next thing I intend to do on the 
i18n branch.

This was already in use in nona before I continued using it.  I thought it was 
a good thing and applied it consistently.  From your feedback I understand it 
is not a good things and I will revert it consistently.  It will need to be 
fixed in the default branch as well.

Thanks again for your feedback and your patience.
