Could you please pick up the 160 commit version of this at:

This is a "give an inch and they'll ask for a mile" sort of thing, but
would it be possible to maintain a stable branch with the i18n
infrastructure that only gets rebased when there is reorganization
going on?

The gettextization and translations are rebased for other reasons (to
avoid going crazy), I know.  But with the infrastructure it is starting
to be hard to track what changes over time.
