Dear mentors, I am currently working on a Tcl/Tk package (saods9; <http://bugs.debian.org/655648>) which has a "msg" subdirectory containing translations into a handful languages:
$ ls -l msgs/ insgesamt 308 -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 39129 2012-04-11 14:01 da.msg -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 38259 2012-04-11 14:01 de.msg -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 41958 2012-04-11 14:01 es.msg -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 37107 2012-04-11 14:01 fr.msg -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 76973 2012-04-11 14:01 ja.msg -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 39144 2012-04-11 14:01 pt.msg -rw-rw-r-- 1 ole no 25965 2012-04-11 14:01 zh.msg They are quite small.
