The check_strings.pl script is used to see if there are any  
untranslated, or unused, phrases in the cgi codebase. I'm not sure if  
the current script will work on v1.5, as it was designed for v1.4.  
The current v 1.4 version also fails to find translation strings in  
the 'makegraphs' script, and the logs.cgi sub-directory IIRC, so it  
has to be used bearing this points in mind. I have found it a very  
useful tool over the years.

The script that downloads the language files from the IPCop Language  
Database is called fetchlangs.pl

view=log
Alan modified it to work for v1.5

I think we could look at adding your new phrases to the Language  
Database after v1.4.11 is released, unless we want to modify the  
whole system?
