I'm personally rather neutral on the topic since I'm not French.  ;)

I'm all for making the tool chain easier myself.  That's not really the 
issue.  The issue here was the fact that you submitted a patch to add 
translations that changed every single line in the files you translated 
which makes it difficult for someone applying a patch to determine 
exactly what changed without going through the patch line by line and 
comparing. 

You might want to ask some of the folks that are doing / have been doing 
translations about the tools they use...  You're the first person *I've* 
seen complaining about it.  That not to say there isn't room for 
improvement just that I don't recall it being an issue.

Why would you have to translate the same menu more than once for the 
same language?

Then you probably should have seen the rule to keep patches small and 
focused.

I've posted this back to the mailing list.  Had you kept your follow up 
questions there someone would else probably would have chimed in.

No I'm not responsible for the translations.  I *was* however going to 
apply your patch to the menus since 1) I built the new menus and felt 
bad that they weren't all translated yet and 2) I had time that day to 
get it done.
