Natural Languages normally have no idea about floating point numbers. But they 
can use fractions (will be ready in half a minute, can be done in a quarte of 
an hour). Some progress messages use phrases like "less then 5 seconds 
remaining" or "estimating 20 min for the Installation".

So we should provide a well defined and _known_ way to handle floats but 
encourage the programmers to use some of the above mentioned, or better, ideas.

So we might use floor _or_ round but only one of these and then stick with it.

So we should make this a tranlators hint on the homepage and merge this branch 
:-).
