Yes, and the point is? Evolution is using XML and xml-i18n-tools, but
it has the slight "advantage" over GIMP that it's heavily relying on
GNOME components for remote activation and components. Though I'm using
it it's a huge bloaty, slow and buggy piece of software and it's for
sure not a good example for the way we should go with GIMP in the
future.

We're talking about the development branch here. It's discouraged to
touch the translations at the moment and thus we have a lot of time
until the translator tools would have to be available, so no need to
worry now that there would be no "easy" way to work translations
tomorrow.
