I was telling you by way of a question...

OK, is there example code anywhere for "tell me what zope3's i18n 
currently thinks the language is"?

How about "what are all the languages that have been registered for 
domain x?", although I guess that comes from a different interface, 
although surely one used by ILanguageNegotiator, since anything 
implementing that would need to know what all available languages are in 
order to know what choices it could pick from?

I will, where do proposals go nowadays?

Would you see a message catalog that recorded untranslated msgids and in 
a file when they were requested as "horrible tricky"?

cheers,
