Question from the Swedish translation team:

Will all translations done for server/addons and version 6.1 be copied 
to 7.0? We have thousands of hours of transkateing booth old bad 
translations and new with focus at 2012. The state of trunk (and now 
7.0) are mainly 2010.

Please advice  us what to do:

Regards
Anders Wallenquist / Vertel
