Thats cool. I have no problem with the above, I was thinking of how to
tackle the new files and not to repeat the old mistakes.

1) If a word can't be looked up by onelook then it is to be marked with
"# Not a valid English word".
2) If you are not sure of the translation, leave it blank.
3) Names, cities, countries are to have literal translation. No fuzzy.

As for old 26 po files, I will be modifying them based on dictd log and
ammend to them from bad_words.
