It's true that a lot of the volunteer translators do work on the translation of software that they actually use themselves. However, this is not always the case. As an example, I do not intend to use Wikia myself, but I have started to translate it for the sake of a friend who does have a Wikia account. If I don't have the documentation then I can't translate. The whole idea of having message documentation is that each translator does not have to know or investigate the software in order to translate.

Granted, there is a problem with there being so many Wikia extensions. Time for a chat amongst yourselves over at Wikia regarding practical solutions to message documentation?
