Hi,

I looked around for tasks to handle during the next bug day and I think
I'll pick up some zope.i18n bugs.

Here's what I found:

#592753 - The module level translate function kills the mapping that is
passed in if the message is a message object. I'm not sure what the
exact expectation is: either replace or update the mapping that's on the
message object already. If anyone has an idea, I'd like to hear it.
Otherwise I'll dig around the code a bit

Hi,
I commented the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope.i18n/+bug/592753

#161985 seems to be a duplicate of #567482. Is it?

Absolutely, it's a duplicate.
