Like I said, it's a tradeoff, simple translation trough po file or
meaningless. For V1, I'd prefer to have this board being well translated
even if we loose its meaning (no all of it anyway).
Then we have to think of a way to handle that. I have one idea where we
could create a string to translate of the form:
GOOD: "cake" WRONG: "bake lake plate" # Translate only quoted words with
words close to the GOOD one

With this, translator will have the whole context and the translation
rule, not just one lost word.
Then of course imageid would have to parse it...

Comment on that?

Bruno.
