    I think translation support in Squeak/Etoys have introduced unique
problems and
    the hack is reasonable workaround at this time.

   Once split domains, there could be the case that a phrase have
multiple translations.
   (Note: ability to have multiple translations might be opportunity )
   So I suspect merging translations isn't good change.
