I have several English books  and in all, title are capitalized. Image
legends are not capitalized, excepted when they they refer to a command.
Example: "The Save as Brush dialog, showing a sample brush".

Modifying msgid strings manually is nonsense.
A normal workflow is:
- git pull --rebase
This will update, in your repo, src/*.xml files and synchronize po files
if another translator made changes in them.

- make pot-xx
This updates pot files according to changes in xml files.

- make po-xx
This updates your po files: msgid strings are updated and marked with a
"#, fuzzy" comment.

Patches are applied to the src/*.xml files.

Don't worry about gimp-help-2.6.0.
We work on master only. Our boss, Roman, periodically makes a new
release of this help (which is always behind the master...)

Please send patches directly to me, so that I am not obliged to retrieve
them from Bugzilla.
