    The problem with that is that you will get tired of replacing the over a
    thousand Norwegian strings with Zemblan, or you will run into a string you
    don't know how to translate into Zemblan and leave the Norwegian in there. I
    still have some French strings left in the Lojban file because of this.

    You may also want to mention po editors. I use KBabel. These prevent syntax
    errors from creeping into your po files.
