OK, how about divide extras into several section but on the *same* page.
no need to categorize it too detail.

Just use production instead of office.. glabel can be included as
use multimedia for gfx , snd and video
use develepmont for anything related to it
use libs for library
use "edutainment" for game and education
use "others" for others.

is it doable?

so translator can determine which module he/she want to do depend on 
what his/her priority
