Can you make a prototype so we can see it in action?   Nobody would object to 
such an idea, but someone needs to do the initial work.

I also suspect that many applications don't offer the level of control via 
dcop that would be necessary to reproduce the screenshots in a manner 
consistent with the existing text describing them.  Please, feel free to 
prove me wrong on that, it's certainly one job I would love to not have to 
ever do again, not to mention it would be a huge help for the translators.
