SO... it's something totally unclear at first read and without the
comment i HAVE to go to codeand, I repeat, not all translators could
be used to php code. Adn if i use a tool for collaborative translation
that don't refer to code line (see entrans thread)?

If we eant to talk to the canonical use of tools and other stuff, ok |
is sometimes abused a bit in WP. But it works? It's usefull? Yes.. so
why waste time for this questions? An hammer is not made to brak
pecans, but if u have it and u need to break some pecans it works...
if a carpenter come to argue that hammer are not though for this..
it's a trivila question... isn't irt? :) Let's stop to waste bandwidht
too :)
