Working on this will leave us less time for looking for any other
possible i18n (and not only) issues in the coming release. IMHO, we'd
better focus on  making 2.5 better.

Apart from not spending time on this issue, here is some
proof-of-concept tokenizer code, which will make the extracting and
replacing work very easy and clean:

Happy hackslating,
