I had started the translation many months ago.
Having free text at this location led to 2 problems:
- the incorrect justification of depreciation (I don't agree with the 
current criterion of "poorly documented tag" since in this case the 
documentation should be completed. Once this is in order, we arrive 
either at a well documented tag without any problem of use or at a tag 
having several meanings or other problems making its use impossible 
which could lead to a depreciation)
- translating 50x the same string, it's a waste of human time. there is 
only a limited number of reasons to deprecate a tag with 0, 1 or several 
replacement tags, no need to invent 50x different strings to say the 
same thing.
I finally gave up for this double reason. and to see these 2 points 
improving seems to me very positive for the quality of the data and the 
documentation

Regards,
Marc
