I created a compendium from old translations. Then I replaced all ~ to
_ and merged the two compendiums. With this merged compendium most of
the old translations were re-used. When not, they often come as
suggestion from amaGama server (in Pootle). So I tried to mitigate the
collateral damage. I do hope, however, that large scale code
reorganization will come to an end some day.

Unfortunately _ comes from GTK+/Glade. We edit dialogs in Glade now.
