Interghg help went in with 67ee7587abea, I have removed the InterWiki
reference, as there is no specific link with InterWiki, it just happens
to use similar schemes.

Currently it reads "expand expressions into changelog and summaries",
but I am slightly afraid it could be misparsed (depending on which
part of the sentence you associate "into" with... or would "in" be
more appropriate here?). If it can be made better/less ambiguous,
I'm all for it.

I'm glad to have so much helpful feedback, both from native and non
native English speakers. :) I'll try to synthetize some more of that
tonight.

I'm just a bit afraid of flooding people with all this, as I think there
is a lot more iterations of discussions and patches to come before we've
gone down to most of the issues and improvements. I'll try to keep all
this about English contained within this single thread.
