The way I have implemented the i18n is that they will fall back to
non-translated strings if a translated string is not found.  I don't
see why the frontends shouldn't use the same method of getting the
translations as well.

A related problem would be how to choose which translations go into
the boot-floppies; I am unsure how to fix that.
