First of all i wont' like to see new "function" for translation until
some of the developpers will say a word about it, second it's too late
for 2.5 even if is not a code modification. I'm fully sync with trunk
since freeze announce, so when final version will be realeased in 1
day or 2 italian version will be realeased. This new stuff would
require works for test preparing things etc.

I would prefere test on a officla branch test. I wouldnt' wanna spend
time on stuff that maybe WP devs will change a bit or totally or
exttend to plugin and theme localization too. This method should
became a real approveded standard for WP files.. until then i can test
unofficially all the works but actully only after the 2.5 release,
cause my time is limited.
