When changing templates to use the translation related tags, I found it
quite tricky to chase down all the bits of text that needed translating.
Finding *all* the text is especially important if the there will be a
large turnaround time on the translations or there's a charge per set of
translations.
To be more confident I'd translated everything I hacked the django src to
replace translatable text with the string "XXXX" so text that wasn't
marked as translatable stood out.

So maybe this might be a useful "feature" to have. Possibly a setting to
make the translation return a dummy value and maybe another setting for
the value, being a string or a callable (taking the msg_id).

I suppose you could create a dummy po file to achieve a similar effect but
I couldn't see any easy way of creating such a po file (that could be an
alternative I suppose, a utility to generate such a file)
