I lile the idea a lot, but there is a small problem : if we offer users 
to submit translations, as those translations will be included into the 
packaged product, and as anyone on the planet can submit such a 
translation, we can't make them sign a CLA in due form...

That's OK for packaged version of Studio outside of Apache, but not for 
us, as we mandate any of our contributor to give back the ownership of 
what they committed to The ASF. Atm, that means all we can do is to 
propose that the translation is to be attached into a JIRA.

Anyone has an idea on how we can fix this ?

Thanks !
