Sorry, I meant to reply to this last night and forgot. bubelle, you're more
than welcome to be our l10n specialist! I'd greatly appreciate it myself,
as I only know enough about it to drop translations in to debian/po. Write
Branden and ask him for svn commit access. I hope the current translation
issues have died down with the most recent commits, and the massive changes
wait on Branden, so that's up to when he finds time, so you'll want to
coordinate with him. I'll try and run through the templates more carefully
tonight and make sure they're all in order, and I'll let you know if I
think it's safe for the translators to make another attempt.
Since you recommend commmitting those translations as well, I'll take care
of that tonight too. Thanks, and welcome!
