Well, just going on what I'm seeing on the disc, it sure looked like the
idea was to put together a disc that covered:
de, en, es, fr, it

I think that makes sense, if for no other reason then it looks like a
reasonable list to do in rather short order.

Adding pt-br, given the activity level, would make sense IMO, but the
branding of the application I suppose causes an issue here.

Looking outwards from there - a CJK disc for instance would seem to make
sense, Hebrew/Arabic/Farsi,  hell I'd help with that one any way I could
- but I think that is digressing for this particular email.

Oh, my poor translating then, sounded like you where also asking for
people to help perform the translation to English.

I would agree and what I was thinking of - any how, the NA DVD is my
priority but as Jeff C. is fond of saying "We can walk and chew gum at
the same time" and given there is an empty en_us directory sitting
there, well 'we' should be able to do something to help.

Thanks
