The problem is that texts in different languages are not of the same
size.

EN: Insert drivers disk

DE: Bitte Treiberdiskette einlegen

Thus there need to be space for displaying the text, and it would
be the easiest thing if text would be auto-filled so the translater
doesn't need to pay 100% attention.  This is a difficult job for
the translator otherwise and a bag of problems.

I would like it to be included asap, even when some translations
are not ready yet.  If the framework is there, there are more
reasons to work on the translations.
