Martyn,

I've added you to the -translation whitelist, so if you reply it will 
go through without moderation. 

I'd make similar comments to those I made in my reply on -quality 
and the associated bug report:
( http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335#c28 )

1) we need a mechanism to indicate which languages already have 
a wxstd.po file included in the Languages folder (or instruct 
translators to check there) to avoid unnecessary translations.

2) the link you give appears to be trunk, which is in advance of 
the wx2.8.12 we use. Since there are issues with moving to 2.9+
(code changes needed, and I believe we have to drop ANSI), we 
won't be moving soon. 

So my suggestion was to commit the locale/wxstd.po from the
sources for the current Widgets version we support into "locale" in 
the Audacity tree.  Then we can add a link to it on:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/community/translation .
