[geeklog-devel] CrowdTranslator - Gamification

They can actually see the translation in the form screen

Don't get me wrong I am not trying to get out of doing this :) I think it
would be nice feature,
but I think this should go into the features  I will implement once the
core part of the plugin is done.
As for now there is still a bunch of parts missing (first and foremost
packing translations)
