  Yes it does in the case of RTL languages, or if translators do weird things 
when they see this fuzzy.  I think it's OK to break RTL since we don't 
support it anywhere else anyway, and well, translators can break the app many 
other ways than just this.

  No, it makes i18n("<filename>-frames") the name in any language.  The 
-previous- version was "<filename>"+i18n("-frames"), which was wrong in RTL 
and very hard to translate.  I suspect that anyone doing translations was 
seeing that as "negative frames".

  I don't think we can do this with %1 involved, otherwise yes we would use 
I18N_NOOP and translate scalars like that.  The other problem is that context 
is lost and that's important with scalars.

  I really think that i18n("%1-frames") is the only choice here, or no 
translation at all.  In the past we did usually do no translation on tag 
names...
