In the case of grindsmygears, I would have liked to have every label defined with a comment alongside that refers to its location. Another confusing bit was the background-image for the header isn't directly linked to the app logo. I'm sure it's a matter of just RTFM to find out how to address / include the app logo in xn:tag syntax.</p> <p>I ought to try some more apps to see what the more modern config processes are doing! All I know is that I really didn't have to do much digging to replace phrases with static quotes, and that it still was remarkably quick to "Get My Own". :)</p> Wishlist is one of those applications that does a lot of pluralization and string-appending to make its labels, and I found that to be tricky.

I ought to try some more apps to see what the more modern config processes are doing! All I know is that I really didn’t have to do much digging to replace phrases with static quotes, and that it still was remarkably quick to “Get My Own”. :)

Ugh. There's got to be a happy medium there somewhere, though...</p> Oh, that’s a keeper.
