Comment (by isis):

 Don't these people get ''bored''?! Look at all the creative opportunities
 here!

 Though you're right, it seems

 my comment to the translators] didn't end up in the .pot file. I'll need
 to re-extract the message and make sure it ends up in there. For the
 record, it says:

 {{{
 ## TRANSLATORS: Please translate this into some silly way to say
 ##              "There was a problem!" in your language. For example,
 ##              for Italian, you might translate this into "Mama mia!",
 ##              or for French: "Sacrebleu!". :)
 }}}

 I don't care what they translate it to, as long as it's not "offensive"
 (whatever that means). And as long as it gets the translators to be
 creative instead of just completing rote translations, verbatim, all day
 long. It's good for them! I'm doing this for their ''sanity''.

 Also the phrase `"plain-'ol-vanilla bridges"`. Translate it to something
 fun! Or something boring, if you really must insist on boring boring rote
 boring what-is-imagination verbatim boringness.
