Actually I would expect the documentation team to be aware that just causing 
work to the translators for no good is not what will give them a good name. 
Then again most changes done for the santizer can be fixed for the 
translations using scripts. So if the documentation team decides that they 
should be in stable, they (i.e. Frerich) should provide the scripts to fix 
the translations after the commit.
