That was one the first things that I had done awhile back - I took all the
files we had and extracted all one and two word phrases and tried to marry
those to words that existed in my exhaustive list.  Bare in mind that the
words within KDE/Gnome are rather computer-centric where-as full_wordlist_*
aren't and shouldn't be (ie. its context neutral).

Its not too early - the point is to make forward progress and to realize
that we are very much behind.  Your suggestion is a valid one and I had gone
through it before - with a bit more KDE/Gnome progress I'm likely to go
through it again unfortunately we haven't add enough progress in KDE and/or
Gnome that would warrant me doing down that path right now.  We need more
progress on KDE/Gnome and full_wordlist_* !!

In short, we __need__ more translators/translations and we need people who
can keep to their word/promises - "for in one's word there is honor".
