Looking at this concern from the outside, I have a question. Do any of
the commonly available translation tools do a good job of assisting with
translating long strings? I would expect that merely showing a diff of
the old and new English strings would be enough assistance in most
cases. I can see how using a simple tool that doesn't even show a diff
would make the job very difficult.
