So what's up with this Curucú (Remote scopes server)? It is without doubt the worst file I've ever seen land in l10n. The first 20 or so strings are fine but then it is one long list of
</div>
<div>
academicAdvisor
</div>
<div>
aircraftAttack
</div>
<div>
aircraftHelicopterMultiroleand so on
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So they all have comments but that just makes the whole thing even more bizarre because they're all like this:
</div>
<div>
translate it to a normal title, as if this were 'Academic Advisor'
</div>
<div>
translate it to a normal title, as if this were 'Aircraft Attack'
</div>
<div>
translate it to a normal title, as if this were 'Aircraft Helicopter Multirole'
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Why? I mean, if these are the strings as they will land in en-US, I pity en-US users. Second, the comments are hardly helpful. An 'Aircraft attack' is something else than an 'aircraft that is for attacking.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Then there are lots of strings which on their own, given how strange a list it is, are impossible to translate:
</div>
<div>
blockAlloy - is this a block made of an alloy or some strange kind of alloy?
</div>
<div>
bodyDiscovered - is this a dead body or body of a document?
</div>
<div>
border - of a document or a country?
</div>
<div>
branchFrom - I can't even begin to guess
</div>
<div>
ceremonialCounty - no idea
</div>
<div>
chairLabel - is this a label for seating people at chairs or a label for a chairman?
</div>
<div>
chain - of shops or the kind Caspar throws around?
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So sometimes you get very strange lists of things, I get that. But in that case, they need really good comments otherwise translators who aren't that bothered will just guess or there will be lots of frustrated translators asking the same questions all over?

Anyone know where this file is from and what it's supposed to do? It doesn't seem to handle it's Questions or Bugs via Launchpad.
