I reviewed it and it looks good to me. I added a few more comments which
I guess you missed. I pushed a commit to the branch on your repo (is it
OK if I do that? I'm not yet used to having commit access to the repos).
I didn't test if the comments are actually picked up by
xgettext/intltool and visible for translators, but I assume you did that
or will do that.
Cheers
