 ''Description''

 Working on the translations for 5.3 we (German polyglots) found some
 difficult passages to translate.

 What we (meanwhile) learned that these passages are
 - a quote by Matt Mullenweg
 - a three line poem by some Japanese poet
 - a movie shooting script (Citizen Kane)
 - an excerpt of Don Quixote

 It took quite a while for us to figure that out.
 (And we're still unsure how to translate these passages appropriately.)

 ''Problem''

 Quotes like Matt's must be translated differently than those of a classic
 like Don Quixote. (For a classic there might exist "standard" translations
 which should be used then.)
 … and some things like this three line poem just could be replaced by any
 other (German) three-liner.

 The same applies to book or film titles. In some languages, these may
 differ from the original title.

 ''Solution''

 **For future releases I wish there were indication of sources for such
 citations -> written as translator comments.**
