I may be missing something here. Are you really trying to translate XML
element names? I don't think thats the good idea as it disallows any
XPATH over the XML. Or in terms of libosinfo: querying for OS attributes
is not doable, unless application using libosinfo does the same
translation. And I think forcing user applications to do so is just not
right.

Or, are you trying to allow translation of XML element values? Again,
translating CentOS is not a good idea. I cannot even imagine situation
where this is needed.

Or did I got something wrong?

BTW this is the right place to update POTFILES.in.
