Yes, you are correct here, I was concentrated on the release version too
much, omitting thus the CVS/SVN ones; there's no this file there.

As much as I myself could take insight into and understand this
mechanism, you are correct on this one too. In other, "localized",
files, I suppose the English part is (just) the model that has to be
translated, and thus not executed/displayed, while translated part is
executed/displayed.
