Yes, I know this and appreciate it. I am not in a hurry with the translation, 
but just wanted to get things clear. On the other hand as it turned out some 
like Francensco might rely on the translations because they use it heavily, so 
for them the saving means they cannot do their job.

I have this on my first priority list :-) It just needs more than half an hour 
to do something sensible on that (Translating is easier in that you don't have 
to think the structure of the text as well since it is given already).
