The problem is more that it will be translated even if the admin does not
want it. Imagine a root having locale FOO_BAR.BAZ for himself, but
the syslem locale should be en_US.UTF8. Now updating the dir file will
translate it which is not the best idea.
I will wait for a new upload, anyway there haven't been any actual complains
recently ;-)
