 Constraint of what ?

 About my patches, someone needs to pull complete changes from the
stream; some changeset pushed actually were revised from my original
and Takashi wrote some.  And I don't keep complete set.

 Here are some thought:
 + Gettext based translation ecosystem consists of several effort.
   Your scope and goal need to be planned before start the work.
   -- translation engine based on gettext emulation and refactoring
to existing translation engine
   -- small facility to manage translation domain
   -- POT extractor
   -- massive changes to apply #translatedNoop to code so that all
strings to translate will be extracted to POT
   -- translation portal and central repository where community work on

 + how to define translation domain is important and difficult.  I
think even for OLPC etoys we haven't gotten good scheme.
