Hi Alfonso and all,

A while back I contacted you regarding Nanny translations, and I replied
back to some of your questions.

Since then, I haven't heard back from you. Did you have a chance to look
into this?

As a reminder, here is the original e-mail:
http://www.mail-archive.com/guadalinex-members@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00381.html

It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to change those
settings, which would benefit translators and would make your life
easier as maintainers. Do you think you could spare some minutes to do
that?

Thanks!

Regards,
David.
