If the right extract magic is called in your Makefile.am, it extracts 
everything between i18n's parentheses. (It is needed to be done that way.)

But do not worry. KBabel, the translator's program, can automatically 
translate what it already does know.

So, yes, it is important to use the common strings (be careful at upper/lower 
case) but the strings are re-translated if you use them directly in your 
code.

Have a nice day!
