Hmm.  The GNU Coding Standards don't mention the translation bug report
line, but the gettext manual recommends including it for any program with
i18n output.  After all, translation bugs really are better directed to
the language team that had the translation issue, rather than the
developer that can't even understand the language in question.

I can, however, agree that the translation line does not add much in the C
locale, and probably not in en_ locales.
