+The amount of translatable text could be seen as overwhelming... You don't have to translate **everything** though in order to provide a good l10n experience to your users.

+I think we can distinguish 3 levels:
+ 1. user-oriented translations: those are all contained in the `messages.po` and `messages-js.po` catalogs; if you reach 100% there you're already a hero (Hello Itamar! ;-) )
+ 2. administrator-oriented translations: since 1.0 we also introduced the possibility to translate the documentation information for the numerous TracIni settings, in the `tracini.po` catalog; for now those are primarily targeted at Trac administrators, so translating those could really be seen as an "bonus" level
+ 3. TracGuideTranslations -- various people have attempted to translate the TracGuide, but this would really be a huge effort; maybe in the future we could isolate a smaller subset of user oriented pages of the TracGuide
+ 4. Translating the API documentation (and why not also the source code?). Hey, just kidding ;-)
