Thanks for committing to commit the files this week ;). I am positive that
the strings we generated are going to cover most of the "normal" GUI as one
of our most experienced experts (Friedel Wolff) did the trimming. I hope you
are able to release for Mac and Win quickly if the "normal" GUI looks mostly
translated?

We are patient, but of course, the sooner the languages get released, the
better. The source files change as we get more updates. Is there an easy way
for me to, for example, commit changes, so we move more quickly on this?
