I've finally got something that works, with minor glitches :
 - the colorbox behind "Want to know more?" is a bit too small
   compared to the others
 - the red squares and triangles are a bit too small too
 - the whole thing is a little too much on the right (off by 1 cm
   approx.)

Otherwise, all translations work with the attached diff ; the result
looks quite good appart from what I mentioned above.

I'll try to integrate this into the Makefile, and I'll see if I can
fix the few glitches.

JB.
