I think we need some discussion about this. Will some of the instances
where you do the change break a stable public API?

Hi Tor, Mike,
And what about German comments like wird gesetzt, wenn
RequestingChilds keine Childs gestzt hat , is the word Childs
really English there? Or just an English loan-word but written
according to German rules (i.e. with initial capital), and inflected
according to German rules?
I believe Child is simply an English borrowed word. Childs is
not German, and since it is borrowed from English, I believe it is
also just as correct German to use Children instead of Childs.
Therefore, the change does not break the German, and shouldn't
break any decent translator. I believe

Personally, I'm not over-concerned about breaking German comments
Hi Christian,
Yes, Child or Childs is not a German word, but it is used as a
name/identifier for something, not as the world for little
humans/human breed.
Tor thankfully cleaned up that part quite thoroughly. But admittedly,
I don't share Michael's view here, either – because in these cases
CHILDS - CHILDREN
Careful with this one. I had to make some manual changes to the
patch file to undo some changes that shouldn't happen.
