Thanks -- it was helpful.

Yes, I have. Pending agreement by the other developers. I would like to
use the framework provided by GNU gettext. The result would be language
files that we could farm out to translators for various languages. 

The work required on our part is basically to mark the various srings in
the codes as 'translatable'.

Then, basically, we get a list of sentences in english that the
translators will maintain and feed back to the development site.

This seems to me quite doable for 1.4 development.

Of course, if anyone has experience with internationalization, we will
accept help in many forms.

That means your contribution would not start immediately. But I do think
(unless there are major objections to the approach) that we could email
a pilot .po file to you in a week or two.

I have been reading/rereading 'info gettext', and might mark some code
in the next couple of days.

And again, thanks for keeping our feet to the fire on this issue.
