Please, use the .po files, instead of translating the .strings files directly
(if the translation was ever started using the .po filesm, that is).
For translations that only are up to date in the .strings file: maybe someone
could come up witgh a script to turn a .strings file into a .po file? Two
different translation mechanisms is hard to maintain, and I'd like to see the
.strings files removed from CVS altogether...
