I think there will be a very fine control, because korean and russian 
users of typo3 are interested in good and understandable phrases that 
explain the system they are using. Therefore they will correct what is 
wrong, as i would do with a lot of misspelled or misleading german phrases.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to have a central language extension 
where all those phrases are stored that are needed in the core and in a 
lot of extensions, so that they have not to be translated for each and 
every extension time and again? Things like 'save', 'next', 'previous', 
'firstname'? This way one could gain a better a consistency in wording 
and save developers a lot of time. One would need a tool, a developer 
can search, so that he/she knows which file/key to use?
