Could we please stop this useless discussion. Obviously the decision has 
already been made, not by the developers, but by the ones who are 
responsible for proof reading and translation. I don't see the need for 
any more "I'm pro!" / "I'm against!" messages. Just accept the decision 
of the i18n team.
