 For the block cases, the syntax might look similar to this:
 <pre>
-@block (@width<600) {
+if (@width<600 && @locale="pl") {
    <title "Short text">
    <windowDesc "About this app">
 }
 </pre>
 of course it's entirely possible to achieve the same with index and globals:
 <pre>
 <title[@width<600 ? 'long' : 'short'] {

-We evaluated this proposal and so far we're leaning against adding the scope block. Adding another concept to L20n - conditional blocks,
+This is needed for multilocale resources (Gaia)
-would decrease the readability of the file (the reader would have to understand the scope syntax here), and
-since the goal is achievable with index conditions, we plan not to implement it for 1.0.
-If in the future we will see such conditional indexes to be widely used, we may decide to include it for the next version.
-We plan to implement the if clause for @import command. This will also mean that we encourage groups of entities that are to be used in certain
-conditions to be exported into a separate file. This should increase readability and will allow us to avoid increasing complexity.
