There are some words that might be worth translating carefully but doing
localisation badly or inconsistanty can nearly be worse than not doing it
at all (and smarter internationalisation can avoid entirely avoid the
need for it).

Still if enough translators were to ask for it and were careful not to
translate too literally it might be worth doing eventually (or inheriting
work already done from some more generalised Mime type system).
