A friend of mine once came across a PostScript tutorial which suffered
significantly in usability by the translators not just translating all
variable names in the examples, but also the standard operators.

The point is that if "spanner" is mostly used to relate to things
written in the LilyPond code base and corpus, translating it is not
going to help.
