[Translators] Basque revisited

[Michael Bauer]

If I may offer an opinion as an uninvolved party who fortunately speaks 
Basque (long story)

There are big overlaps but on the whole, Julen's version reads better 
and is more in line with existing Basque software. Sometimes it's just 
different style but sometimes the differences in Xabier's are ... puzzling.

For example, "1" in Basque has to follow the noun it modifies, 2 is a 
tossup and all other number must precede the noun. Xabier has 1 
preceding the noun, which I find really worrying. Xabier also does not 
follow the general convention of using lowercase throughout except for 
proper nouns. His orthography also seems to be off on a number of 
occasions, for example he has "hurruneko" which should be "urruneko". He 
also has a strange liking for long-abandoned neologisms such as 
"urrutizkin" for "telephone"... I mean, seriously...

On the whole, Julen's version would be my preference by a big margin.

Hope that helps
