Good question, Patrick. All I know is that, just before I sent my 
application to the developers in January, see (1) and they decided to 
close the door, our English version and the French translation were 
accepted in the old way. As from January, we have to do the packaging 
ourselves. Although I am making progress, I will ask the MOTU guys if 
the completed translated versions (pdf) can be included in the original 
package.
