Well, I would be happy do some proofreading - thing is I don't have =
Linux installed on my 'good' machine (and the other machine is too slow =
for KDE). Give me some time though, and I may be able to organize =
something (make an empty partition somewhere). I'll get back to you =
if/when I do.

John,
I know that there are some errors in the translations - sometimes the =
word in=20
English, without the context, can be misleading and you don't find out =
the=20
mistake until you see it in the translated application. Still, they =
can be=20
corrected and will make it to the next version, or even on updates =
from the=20
website. What I need is more volunteers (hint, hint) to do =
proofreading,=20
corrections etc.
