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.
