The texts are spread over hundred and more files. It's not only menu  
entries and menu titles, it's also necessary to translate the  
customisation buffers, the description of functions and variables.

I am translating calendar into German since decades and quite  
complete ...


And once the act of translation is achieved: how do you describe a  
problem with entry 5 of menu 3? By using the French names? By  
counting? What when the order is changed? What when someone decides,  
according to writing direction, to order the menus from right to left?
