    Does this mean we now have 1 or 2 files with i10n
    strings? We used to have .strings, labelset, and
    toolbarset.
    At one point we had one Russian file using one
    encoding and another Russian file using another
    encoding. I have a feeling this was fixed at some
    point but we have to be sure when merging l10n files
    that we're not accidentally creating a single file
    with two encodings. So watch out (:

    There's another tiny issue related to this that came
    up on an i18n list recently. Sometimes icons are
    needed which are bidi dependent - so a good system
    will know to look for right-to-left icons in any
    right-
    to-left locale. Our current system is good but would
    need seperate icons for Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic,
    Farsi,
    Urdu, etc. I have no idea if we yet have any icons
    which would be affected.
