Are the "sources" mentioned by Jonathon and by 
Rimas one thing or two different things?

I would say the "source of translation" should 
be only semantically correct, as regarding the 
functionality of the entity/activity it refers 
to. The en_US is just a translation in this 
regard, and activities regading, say, its 
typography tradition should be excluded from the 
lifecycle of non en_US translations.

That won't change anything w/r to the Help pages 
(in which the text itself is the entity), but it 
definitely relates to UI strings, which are sort 
of a primary step in localisation process.
