The only way I can think to implement such feature is just a way to show
an english image and ask for the same image in your locale.

That does not work with the current PO file format, but if we implement
support for XLIFF, it could handle it without many problems.

Don't think it's going to happen in the near future, but it's a good
thing to have in our Wishlist (I see it already there, thanks :-P)

Cheers.
