I don't think this will be too difficult, though. I'll make this change early in the 3.6 release cycle so that we have plenty of time to make the change and test things out. I'm not as familiar with how translations are handled, so I'll also make certain that existing translations can be migrated as part of this change. Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for your help in translating the docs, Mario. : ) Jim
