- 1998-02-03: no.po for Norwegian by Lars G. Bjønnes ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
- Pretty much done except for some keyboard-shortcuts, and a few
- things that I don't know how to translate yet.
- Updated for 0.12.0
-
- 1998-01-23: es.po, Spanish by Daniel Manrique and Alejandro Aguilar

- 1999-04-30: da.po for Danish by Asger Alstrup ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- Pretty much done for 1.0.2, except for some keyboard shortcuts.
-
- 1998-07-27: Updated sv.po, Swedish by Joacim Persson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
- Complete, in the sense that it works. (except some shortcuts in a
- few hard-to-crack dialogs)
-
- 1998-02-01: de.po, German by Peter Metternich and Peter Sütterlin
- Complete as of pre8, allthough some translations could be nicer.
- Shortcuts do work, allthough some are missing (not enough
- unique letters...). Additional shortcut definition file
- menus_de.bind available.
-
- 1998-02-11: hu.po, Hungarian by Peter Kremer & Andras Kadar
- Menus and some simple dialog box are done. Additional shortcut
- definition file menus_hu.bind available.
-
- 1998-11-27: fr.po, by Emmanuel Gureghian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, with
- *slight* changes by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes. All strings are basically
- translated, but the keyboard shortcuts have not been updated and
- the translation could really be improved. Feel free to contact
