  Personally, I appreciate any translations that can be done, even if
incomplete. I do think us developers should go through the files we've
worked on and make things log_error sometimes, log_debug translated, or
log_debug don't translate. But maybe that won't happen by the release. I
will go through gui, libdevice, and librender this weekend and do that.
I also think many log_unimpl messages probably should be translated, so
those often will explain why a file won't play correctly.

  You can start at whatever point you are comfortable with. :-) I
realize that the much larger file could be intimidating, so that's a
good long term goal. Short term, do whatever you feel is appropriate for
the translators. I wish I could help, but I'm basically stuck as an
English only speaker.
