It looks to me like squid is doing translation the hard way and hit the
natural consequence for it.

What I think we should be doing here is having a 'dictionary' for each
langauge containing a list of each unique sentence needed. Last time I
wrote a translation system like this with mostly similar output, I found
it easier to create a multiple dictionaries and insert them at build time
into the pages, With a default language if any sentence was missing
(allows for expansion in absence of translators).
It kept the level of expertise needed in language translators to a minimum
and kept the page layout and styles in one location.

Would be a nice beginner project if you want to go ahead with it.
