I think this's been answered a lot of times, and Fabiano is not
really asking why, he's telling us 'do not do this'.
Here's my personal answer to what I would have done that:
Let's say a translator in our team thought he should not modify the
layout although it is clearly not good for my language. Then I got
a bug report about that, and went to check it out. Or, simply,
I got a message from the translator asking me to update that translation.
I then discover the layout is really screwed up for my locale and
modify it, after removing the '3' from the translation.
So what's the deal? Can we l10n our files or we should not?
[]s!
