Thanks.
I've tried using loKalize before and found that it will replace the header to its version...
Maybe I need to take a look of its documentation for how to get rid of this...
The reason I use Google Docs is to make translating more collaboratively, so maybe I'll try other solution like etherpad next time.

I currently only focused on fuzzy translations and some of the strings are out of my ability.
Hope that someone can help.

I followed "part of" the zh_TW group guidelines and sure I skipped many strings without spectating.
Maybe I will see it thoroughly later...

Those terms is (explicitly) remained simply because I'm not sure how to present it precisely,
and I currently not found any "established practice" (as I subscribed zh_TW mailing-list not many days before)
and we are in a dispute on a more common term : "software package"(LOL)
