Yes, thanks Gabor, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

This sounds great.

Usually when developing a module for a client in a different language, I
try to use t() wrapped English strings when there's just a few of them,
always thinking that it may-be contributed/translated in the future. The
main issue though were the help texts which are usually longer, so it
was not practical at all to use the localization system for that.

But if this new system allows any base language -I had missed that when
looking at the code- then it is just great. Thanks.
