If it is, it is more than great I think. See also the thread about
http://jp.librarything.com
where they provide the registered users the way to evaluate the
current version, not only the opportunity to submit the alternative.

If the entire site has a feature to recommend an alternative to system
messages (since it is read-only for most visitors anyway), like Google
Translator gives its visitors, I think it better from the point of
proofreading, but not sure it is balanced with the other aspect &
workload.
