...otherwise, you might find the translators also translating the
variable names, and that would be disastrous! Translators must be
allowed to have zero knowledge of programming. In general, they only
work with text files, Word documents or whatever. Programmers later
algorithmically incorporate that into program source.

(I did say internationalisation really requires its own thread!)
