 > > Writing a python script, I found that the
 {{{grass.script.raster_what()}}} output dictionary has different keys
 depending on language used in GRASS.

 > This comes from line 191 in lib/python/script/raster.py where these
 labels are noted as translatable strings. I agree that this is a very bad
 idea and that such dictionary keys should not be translatable.

 > Unless anyone gives a good reason for the contrary, I will change the
 vector of labels to non-translatable. This might break existing scripts,
 but I think this is necessary.
 Then also add line 184 ("No data").

 This also needs to be explicitly stated in docstring that it is callers
 responsibility to use localized version of key values before they are
 displayed to the end user.
