Thanks! It's really great to see MapOSMatic translated into another
language.

That's fine, do it when you find the time, or maybe someone will
contribute it. That's the beauty of open source :-)

Thanks for these remarks. I have updated the "How to translate
MapOSMatic" wiki page to integrate your comments, and fixed the About
page as per 2).

Your translation won't be live for a little while, but don't worry, it
will be as soon as possible.

Thanks again,
