Regarding translation.  Despite living in a bilingual country, translation
isn't my forte (note the use of french there.  :)

Translation isn't really required for the database, it's required for the
interface.  Ideally, every string that is displayed to the user should be
sent to a gettext() call that looks up a translation to the user's
preferred language, if one is available.  This is no small undertaking
even before any translations are done.  I know that _I_ won't be doing it
for this release.
