this definitely would make sense, however, the default in config.ini is
to not translate rest and xmlrpc - so we need to change that before the
test. which needs to go into db_test_base.py:setupTracker ? or can this
be done at a later stage ... sorry, i am not that deep in the testing stuff.

for mailgw i dont know if we would need to setup a detector that creates
some i18n'd message ? or should it also send translated issue status ?
