Hi Simon,

I also use english software myself, but many don't, so we do the
translations :-)

I'm waiting for your German translation! Do you know how to do it? Are
you familiar with gettext? Mail me if you have any questions.

BTW, pay attention to phrases and single words, try to guess the
context they show (po files have the source code file, it's not that
good, but may provide hints). Brazilian portuguese have some problems
with objects and other non-personal having gender... So "All" can be
translated to both male or female, depending on the context.
