Capitalisation and typos in package names can be fixed by you in all
translations without knowledge of the language. That's why
smart_change.pl exists in CVS. That was discussed already multiple times
on this list!
It's really simple to reduce work for translators and I'm sure it's
obvious for you as well if you think a little bit about it. Please
note that fixing all translations at once is probably faster by a factor
of 5--10 compared to individual changes ...
