At the moment it reuqires a lot of work to merge changes in the original tips into translations.

I'm not not exagerating. A typical tip consists of multiple lines (2 to 5) and you can't translate them line by line. My typical emacs setup shows about 42 lines, while the typical distance between the original tip and the translation will be around 40 to 100 lines with the solution you proposed (not accounting for empty lines to achieve better readability). I don't consider this a practical solution and I think Christian expressed the same opinion independently of my mail. Salut, Sven
