1. Yuri did, not me, maybe he can answer
2. Right, but the places i i18n the name is only used in case the label is empty
3. Right, but we can't really give a better context due to us not "controlling" the origin of the string
4. We can always add strings as we go
5. Manually or if Yuri did use some script, using that
6. Well, I guess that's up to the libindi developers themselves, no idea how/when/who develops libindi, maybe you can shed some light in there, but from what i remember Yuri mentioned there was not much hope?
