Committed with cleanups.

I used application/x-gerber and application/x-excellon for Gerber and Excellon
formats. There is a bit of disagreement over the proper MIME types for those,
but those are what gerbv uses, so we might as well not be different just for
the sake of it. We should probably add an association between the mime type and
the usual extensions as well, as I don't think those are generally recognized -
not sure how to do that, perhaps you could follow up?

We should reach out to the translators directly for translations.

I've attached a diff from your version to mine so you can see what I changed.
You did the bulk of the work, so I still credited you.
