The script can be used directly on the DLA text/mail, btw (it's not
based on the list archive, no need to download).
Also I remember fixing one of your DLAs before a webwml admin made an
angry commit, the script is sometimes silently bogus.

I'm sure everybody understands the importance of translation, I did
quite a lot of i18n myself. Just wondering its usefulness for DLAs.

translators prioritize :)
