No problem. You are doing a great job!

My main problem against this is my slow connection. This will download all the 
languages for all the packages, isn't it? I would suggest (if not a problem 
for you and others) a reorganization of the translate module to have all .pot 
files in one module/folder and each language in it's own module/folder like in 
KDE for example. This would let each translator download all the files 
concerning his language easily. We wouldn't also need to guess the place 
of the po file on the server (in a po folder or not) to download it, am I 
wrong?


p.s. Remember, volunteering is the best choice! I'd hate to invoke
clause 12.A of section 543 of your employment contract; which if you
are not familiar with, allows us to appoint volunteeres.
