My thought was to first get the more important parts of the application 
translated and then focus on the stuff that is just read once. Any 
opinions on that? Do you guys think it would be good to have those 
examples translated?

Well, in principle yes, but if I change one word in a multiline text, 
the whole thing has to be translated again. I couldn't come up with a 
better solution yet. Anyone has a better idea? I have thought about 
using sphinx [1] for documentation and making those strings translatable 
[2], but have not had much time investigating further. Anyone interested 
in having a look how this could be done?

Please comment on those questions, it's much easier to decide some stuff 
if you have heard more opinions.

Cheers,
Jendrik
