There's some proofreading to be done on the file encoding-guide.xml
that I committed yesterday. All I've done so far as only to fix a bit
of the spelling mistakes, but there's still some left.
The man page I take care of, and I don't have much problem to cope
with the flow of updates, thought I must admit that I'm slower to
update it than I used to (less free time) :(.

The file mencoder.xml needs to be upated too, but I have an
half-finished version on my machine, so I'd need to clean it up and
commit it too because I advise any work to be done on that file.

Last but not least, the "help" console messages and getting updated by
Gilles Pelletier < pellgill AH gmail POIS com >, you could contact him
to divide up the work between the two of you.

I really welcome any helping hand. Keeping a translation up to date
isn't easy, to you're more than welcome to help us out.
