Hi,

I noticed that the default libraries still have many descriptions in french.

Will there be internationalized libraries ever?

Is it reasonable to translate the libraries to English? At the same time, the 
symbols should be standardized (according to DIN EN / IEC 60617). I have 
attached a patch that replaces the CP symbol/description. Does that make 
sense?

Best regards
Jonas Diemer
