I would think translations of larger strings ("This is an example of a 
FreeBSD system") would override translations of smaller strings 
("FreeBSD").

But it's not clear, and a test would help.  Certainly it can be made to 
work.  Other large projects are using these systems, with a lot of 
content translated.  Because of the translation database, rewrites or 
massive edits would force the translators to start over.
