Please have a look at /ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS (The GNU
Translation Project) and read François Pinard's homepage at

What are the reasons not to 'gettextify' lynx?  David Trueman
(cf. http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month0197/msg00214.html) has
done, and a followup to his article seem to say, that using gettext is
the right way.  Okay, it "bloats" the source, but nowadays this should
be a problem; if it does not fit on one floppy disk, then use 2 or 3 --
even tar is able to create multi-volume archives (-M).

|   Yes, I am trolling for volunteers.

If you'll use the gettext tools and the available channels (the
translation teams at address@hidden, v. ABOUT-NLS), you'll quickly get
results.  Normally, within days the french (fr) and german (de)
translations are ready to use; if nobody from the german team will
volunteer, I promise to provide a german translation.
