Devil's advocate for a sec, were those NAME changes or CATEGORY changes?

That was my thinking too, but I have no stats to back it up.

To Jacob's point about keeping changes in sync, which I agree is a valid concern
and would need to be addressed: If the translation file ships as part of a part
update, then I would think that any time a part number changes, so does the
translation file, which means that when you install an update you are in sync
(that may not be true if you live on the bleeding edge with unreleased parts and
etc, but if you only update when stuff is officially released wouldn't you be
OK?).
