I hope, but I am not sure. There was an enormous amount of strings in
this batch. Most of them (help,  <ahelp>...</ahelp> that were alreay
there in the past) I saw them in the 4.1 version, but they were empty
(not evenn fuzzy) on 4.2. I manage to load 4.1 as translation memory for
4.2 but even with this trick there was a lot of strings the TM could not
minimally guess, so... rework.

Please help us by giving a clear [ANN] in the l10n list... I thought I
finished the job las monday and a new set of strings is there.
