When the German translation was started 5 months ago it wasn't at all
clear if R1 would be localized. So we started with keeping the original
strings. The German translation being more or less complete for about 4
months now, localizing strings hasn't really come up at all... :)
Seeing how fast the original translation went, I'm confident we can
handle exchanging those strings in time. Also, seeing that the
localized strings are still a bit in flux, it may even save some time.
To be honest, taking all those localized screenshots seems to be much
more boring work...
