> As you would know Harry Wagner is soliciting volunteers to translate

> Arabic, Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Czech, Dutch, English,
> Finnish, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese,
> Korean, Maori, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish,
> Thai, Ukrainian.
> And, in addition, I know there are a few more translations which

> although some of them could be de facto standard.
