Well, what it really boils down to is that there are no rules for 
translators. From a functional point of view I think all labels used 
throughout TYPO3 should be in locallang file, except when such file is 
not loaded yet. From a practical point of view advice could be written 
about which words would better be left untranslated. But at least the 
possibility exists to translate when necessary, as Partick mentioned 
earlier in this thread.

Anyway I don't know the status of translations. It is probably good in 
German given the size of the community, but I know the French one is 
pretty patchy.

On a personal level I only use English. But still IMO it should possible 
to localise every single string.

Cheers
