Anyone who cares would send the completed thisProgram_comments.template file
to the author, and adding the database to the released package would have to
be encouraged as helping to spread both the program and the language. It would
be the author's call to update the released database with the new entries.

Of course. The author may consider contacting the persons who translated
earlier versions for updating the comments, do it himself, possibly ask some
download site to care about it, etc etc.
The only real problem I can see here is that the format of the database must
accommodate unicode strings in various encodings. Unless some standard
encoding and byte ordering is suggested/enforced.
