Done, in Progress, so there will be a solution for the "normal" etoys image.
 
But at the moment I can't find a working way to get the translations 
from etoys.po on pootle into the actual developer image etoys-dev.image 
to check the latest change sets. That would also be a good place for 
testing actual changes and providing the new translation to a wider 
tester community.

Done, that will need some discussions about details for the best trade 
off. It's a starting point to see what are the problematic strings.
