Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. Maybe something like:

<!ENTITY lang.version "supprimer v1"> <!-- Change to reflect the
version of this translation -->
<!ENTITY lang.description "français"> <!-- Change to reflect the
language of the strings in this DTD -->
<!ENTITY lang.author "Université Laurentienne"> <!-- Change to reflect
the source of the translation -->

The translator didn't have any context for translating those strings,
so translated them literally. Adding comments like I have to the
English DTD would help future translators. For lang.version, it might
make more sense to just use the SVN revision number (unless we're
trying to match DTD version numbers with Evergreen release numbers,
which is a different matter).

Good catch Mike!
