This is complicated -- it was dropping English words into the sentence
in the guise of "id" codes. To avoid restructuring the code too much,
i just put them in inverted commas. Throughout the makefile code it
does things like this so I had to change a lot of strings.

This is still undecided. However, the strings are in Mono.Addins and
are no longer translated as part of MonoDevelop itself.

Fixed, I think. It wasn't passing the strings from the XML file to Gettext.

Fixed by stripping underscores from toolbar tooltips. Not sure if this
is the best solution, but it works.

Actually, it uses Gtk.Stock.GoUp, so your system's translation is wrong.
