The problem for the translation maintainers might now be, that they can no 
longer (easily) go to the source code to see the string in context.
When doing L10N myself some time ago (not for this project), I did from time 
to time go to the source, e.g. because the translation (especially of very 
short strings) wasn't clear at all, without seeing the meaning in context.

Just my 0,01 ?
