indeed. maintaining translation is too much work for just one guy :)

also, one main reason for not maintaining translation anymore is that i have 
trouble understanding video treatment stuff, and i really don't like to 
translate something i don't understand.

but anyway, i'll be looking for a job in the next few weeks, so i'll have time 
for updates...

Guillaume, please tell me what you can/want to translate, to avoid duplicate 
work!
