Right. My strings definitely need a reworking, but thanks for pointing
out some specificts. That was the reason that I didn't call for
translations before releasing this beta version. Before I release
0.4.0 final, I will announce a translation period. While of course any
translator is welcome to get started right now, there are likely going
to be changes to the strings.
