Well, the source code is using logical strings, which I've pointed
out in the past being a bad idea (internally and on this list [0]).
But then I'm not officially involved with l10n at Nokia.

At the time, I wanted to start translating it to Catalan, but I decided
I didn't want to waste my spare time dealing with the logical strings.
Supposedly some packages might be switching or have switched to
"engineering english", which is an improvement, but still. Good luck
anyway ...

regards,
guillem
