Hmm, well the GB tranlator could just copy the string.

It just looked a lot like HTML and certain things don't make the same sense in 
all languages, e.g. <b> does not necessarily apply to east asian glyphs and 
translators would need to be able to change that to something else.

But I guess you don't have any actual markup in there, so no need to allow 
translators to change it.

Cheers,
Kevin
