Subbu,

One way to handle those strings quickly is to jsut press the "Copy" key,
that is the secret of the high rate of Englsih and English(US)
"translation".  They will show in the review tab as "unchanged", but it will
count as "translated.

An important issue that needs to be pursued further is whether this leads to
bloat in the language packs.  I know that the build developers have been
trimming back on languages included in builds by default in order to save
space.  We would not want to make that problem worse.
