Yes, you are right. The database engines really need a quality common
library for evaluation of translations (for example strong fuzzy
translation support). However, I could not even estimate how long would it
take to do it right (TM).

This is probably a longer term goal. Altough, I planned to merge the
code at least to create an embryonic library, which can be refined and 
extended later (not sooner than in 1.2 though).
