hum hum, we are trying to do txt2tagslite modular with the targets directory. 
I18n is needed by the targets (at least for NAME) and the __init__.py file IS 
the core of the system. It deals with conf 'globals', line command options and 
targets import, he is always needed and make txt2tagslite modular.
We could duplicate the code in txt2tagslite,but it's ugly, and we should never 
remove it from __init__.py.
If txt2tags is generated from txt2tagslite, we can add i18n like all the others 
things we need...

But i18n is also needed by the main script and by the lib/gui_tk.py files, it's 
not specific to targets.

What about a lib/i18n.py file? It seems like a better place so everybody else 
can import it.

For sure Aurélio, lib/i18n.py is a best place (when you said 'back to the 
core', I understood 'back in the main file', and this was not good for me).

You got it right! It was referring to the main file, but after your reply I 
realized that that was not a good idea :)

Oh, and BTW, last year, after 33 years writing it wrong, I discovered that my 
name does NOT have an accent. Believe it or not.

Ok, not *exactly* 33 years because I was not *that* smart as a baby or child :)

So you were ASCII 7-bits compatible since the beginning !

Yes! If I knew it before, it would have saved me lots of encoding troubles :)
