Replying to [comment:10 nbachiyski]:
So by giving an "extreme" example, you make a judgement! Sorry if it
sounds a bit harsh, but I can't agree with you Nikolay. The fact is, the
solution to what you mentioned in the above example is not to forget about
internationalization of Kubrik theme totally; the solution is to change
the code a big (by adding a few variables, and writing in a nicer way) so
that people with less experience can understand it better.
I again want to give you the example of MediaWiki. Unlike WordPress which
uses, maybe around a 100-200 messages, MediaWiki uses more than 1200
messages in its core only (let alone the extensions) and many of them use
parameters. These messages are mostly being translated by people who are
not PHP developers, but they are translated very well using frameworks
like http://translatewiki.net and the key is, complexity is avoided at
coding time.
