I never said it would be automated (it can't be), but it would be alot easier and wiser to continue with the Wordlist translation while researching format/syntax of the underlying files. A reshuffle of the data would take 1/10th of the time and no data will _ever_ be lost. I hope you continue to contribute to the Wordlist translation (a minimum of a word a day :-) while you research.
