Thinking twice... I realize that the regexp would only reduce the output 
of check-translation but the files would still be marked as outdated for 
most languages, because of the committishes.

So, Francisco, your solution seems like the only way to go.
Do you agree?
(you know I always get confused about this subject ;-))

So I believe that the best solution would be:

- moving the english texidoc="" and doctitle="" strings in a separate 
directory, e.g. Documentation/texidocs/
- changing makelsr.py so that also the english strings in 
Documentation/texidocs are included in the snippets

This implies that snippets editors will have to search the title and 
description of snippets in a separate file. But it's not a big hassle, 
as they change very rarely.

How do developers feel about it?

Should we create an issue in the tracker?

Thanks,
Federico
