I don't think the docs are anywhere near up-to-date, are they? This can be a
problem.

Frankly, this sucks. We really should be using intltool to extract
translations to the po files. Po-files and documentation should be the only
thing a translator needs to look at. This won't be an easy fix I think, so
we'd have to do that for 4.4, I guess.

I know this doesn't help translators now, but I thought I'd mention it anyway,
