["Mateusz" <komorkiewicz@...>]

As I said the program is still in alpha version, so please try to run it and give me some feedback what should be improved.

I think that script will never be good enough to allow automatic translation. 

Just think how the source would look like if we mixed the real English comments with the translated one. I believe the wrong translated comments wouldstay there forever what would make a very bad impression (worse than French comments). 

It seems there are three of us (Wayne, Rob and myself) so if each of us cantranslate two files a day (no more than 15 minutes of work with assistanceof my program) we could make progress really fast (note that not every file needs translation).
