Comment (by huji):

 Replying to [comment:10 nbachiyski]:
 So by giving an "extreme" example, you make a judgement! Sorry if it
 sounds a bit harsh, but I can't agree with you Nikolay. The fact is, the
 solution to what you mentioned in the above example is not to forget about
 internationalization of Kubrik theme totally; the solution is to change
 the code a big (by adding a few variables, and writing in a nicer way) so
 that people with less experience can understand it better.

 I again want to give you the example of MediaWiki. Unlike WordPress which
 uses, maybe around a 100-200 messages, MediaWiki uses more than 1200
 messages in its core only (let alone the extensions) and many of them use
 parameters. These messages are mostly being translated by people who are
 not PHP developers, but they are translated very well using frameworks
 like http://translatewiki.net and the key is, complexity is avoided at
 coding time.
