:)) that would be great!! you see, i have to sell the idea to JP (the
leader) and the smaller the size the better he might include it to the
ISO... Could you please make it as small as possible? i know it's
difficult perhaps. but that would give a better chance. i also had
chat with other dev guys in the team, and they all agreed that the
size is a big factor. :( and hahaha... i have to make a very good
case. but hope to hear good news from you. :)

At the moment, it's pretty easy. I asked all the translators to use
wixi to do all the 'base' translation. then after that, i will just
pass around exported tag files for them to import for update-
versions.

good idea... but it's a pretty small group. :))) and the updates are
currently still in my HD. i need to pass around for translations once
the 'core' is finished.
by the way, i will be off to germany next week (for work) and i might
not be able to be online as often as i would like.
Best wishes
and thanks for the reply :) i really appreciate your help
