Hmm, I see.  Still, I don't think "being really quiet" means outputting
lots of cruft and logs.  Does it really matter for you if it outputs the
names of the files that have changed?  Because if it doesn't you could
just use -q instead.

Ah!  I think I misunderstood how -m worked in the old script.
Currently, -m only sends mails to the translators defined in
<lang>/international/<lang>/translator.db.pl, but you seem to want it to
send all the mails to the specified address, right?

Actually, I'm pretty sure this didn't work with the old script either.
You need at least to set an -n option.
