Another suggestion re i18n/l10n: it's better to not use _ function.
It seems handy but sometimes better use gettext name for translation
function and N_() for marking string as translated without instant
translation. Then later N_-wrapped string should be translated with
gettext() call.

We have a nice example (I think) in QBzr project:
