OK. I fully understand. And I looked the source.

Nice.

I support this idea. It fixes most of the problems. It's really true 
that sometimes the existing framework is slow and it must use too much 
resources also due it's so slow.

One small detail/suggestion: it would be really nice if I could update 
my own installation with totally other translations than the official 
translations are. The idea behind this thinking; there is some extension 
which could be used to a little different target than was the purpose of 
the original extension. Eg. I would use bibliography extension and the 
fields used there in different ways for 2-3 domains and all these 
domains have their own typo3 installations. OK I know that I can do this 
already now but diversity is sometimes good to solve problems. Also if I 
can update with XML files any local language, this could be solution to 
my "missing translations" problem. No pressure with this idea.

Gee thanks, but don't overestimate my efforts and I have a really good 
co-translator. To get everything translated once was a bigger effort but 
nowadays updating is merely a daily 15 minutes or so. This is my way to 
support Typo3. Unfortunately I have had so much other work that some 
extensions have been delayed for too long time, but in sunny future ;-) .
