Could you explain a bit on how this will be done? I remember you added
some handling for this in the DataMap and introduced some changes in the
XML format?

Cool. Once all tests succeed, I will add this feature to the nightly builds.

Lets go with it, once it is done we should look into integrating this
better with current translators.
