Comment (by knight):

 I was contacted about this so I better explain what I said above a little
 better...

 Assuming it does what it is supposed to, I am definitely AGAINST
 backporting it to 0.27 as it would break translations, while it might fix
 one person's problem it would create one for someone else...

 Our translators currently work against master and the upcoming 0.28, we
 very rarely receive updates for the current -fixes version so it would
 create a problem which would not get fixes until the next -fixes version.

 However, if the translatable strings are left as they initially were and
 the comparison is made case-insensitive and assuming this does what it is
 supposed to I have no problem with it being backported to 0.27.

 I also think that since we have no control over the data we are feeded we
 should make the comparison case-insensitive and not depend on it being of
 a specific case, this could likely break in the future...

 John, could you post a revised patch?

 Thank you and have a nice day!

 Nicolas
