I noticed that the strings are translated in 3.5.1 RC1 -- thanks for fixing
that!
A few issues remain, though.
1) There is not enough room for longer strings -- i.e. strings that are
more than 10 or 20% longer than in English, are cut off at the end. This
affects locales like fr, de, hu, fi, et, and probably many others. I think
the dialogs should be redesigned to use tabs instead of current sections,
and each tab page should only have one column of checkbox-options, with
full page width available for translated strings.
2) "Dictionaries" and "English/Hungarian/Russian sentence checking" are
still in English.
3) In the English grammar extension, shouldn't the options "Em dash" and
"En dash" be mutually exclusive, i.e. option buttons, not checkboxes?

Best regards,
Mihkel
