we (plasma team) would. it wasn't something we've been checking in the past, 
but we can and should do so in future.

moreover, the "it jumped from playground into base" example you gave is not 
solved by doing it in playground. in fact, that just means we have to keep our 
eyes on even MORE things, many of which will never see a release.

playground is not meant for release. it is not releasable code. i don't see 
the point of testing for translations, nor do i see the point in translating 
that code either.

it's not hard to fix it when they move over, either. the ones that do have 
export macros should be fixed, of course, but still my question is why we're 
getting people to translate this stuff in the first place, as much of it will 
never exit playground at all.

well, actually, we do. that's why i mentioned networkmanager. other than the 
odd exception, distros should NOT be shipping code from playground in the 
first place. if they do, they have a lot more work than just i18n fixes to do.

Will Stephenson would know this one.

... and translating all of playground is a waste of dozens of translator's 
time.
