I missed this one. Thanks for the announcement. By the way, where did these translations come from? I mean, they appear to be translated by Kyle, so I guess he imported them from somewhere. I had to change a lot of them (lot of them seemed to be GoogleTranslator-made, nonsense). Maybe I should check any translation coming from that source.
