Having a way to translate the descriptions might be useful I guess. However, I'm
not sure if keeping them in the files scattered around sources is the way to go,
since the translator needs to find them all and edit them all. Furthermore,
adding a language is nontrivial (need to patch the files, just unpacking the
version translator had might break things if it is a different version).

One part per translation (global, and doing some lookups) might be a better way?

Have a nice day
