If you can figure out a way to reliably start doing new functions without
adding anything, let me know. 8-)

There are many strategies for translation, from completely replacing the
page to translating chunks to building components which provide the
link. But everything requires adding something.

Anyway, it is pretty much all moot. The hard part is doing the
translations and keeping them accurate and up to date. The mechanism
doesn't matter that much. We provide plenty of tools to help with
maintaining the appropriate files and tables, and you should be able to
hand your translators a spreadsheet and say "go to town".
