The library is not supposed to provide translations, only the means to use an 
existing translation provided by the user and assumed to be valid. However, 
it would be nice if the project could select some translations and make them 
available as a bonus to the user and in that case I would only suggest widely 
accepted and agreed upon translations.

In short, the user is free to choose any translation or any text but the 
project developers won't waste their time provding questionable texts for him 
and the library should warn the user about this type of texts in the same way 
a P2P sharing program would warn its users about illegal sharing.
