Comment 3 for bug 161002

I think this is more of a feature enhancement than a bug. So far as I can determine the 5-character minimum is arbitrary rather than dictated by technical requirements. I've certainly not seen any problems in using it.

I've made a version available in my PPA. This simply alters the "strlen() < 5" check to be "< 2". It doesn't update all the gettext po files.
