Looks good yeah(although my French is rusty and I don't know any Korean :P)

Yes I was asking myself the same question, anyway if everything's in place 
I'll do the Dutch translation. How about the news items, btw? Are they only 
in English or can they be localised too? The Bebug site does that as 
follows: first post the news item in dutch, then you can translate it into 
other languages, I like that approach...although we have to post everything 
three times...maybe that isn't that great...

also English dates have a different order than the dates "on the continent". 
If I remember correctly English uses month-day-year, while Dutch (and 
French?) use day-month-year...but that's not difficult to change, if we are 
going to change it :)

ow? must have done that by accident then :S...I only used scp and ssh... 
didn't modify access rights, maybe it's done automatically....if you tell me 
how to change it back to the normal access rights I will change it right 
away!

That's the way it's done in the bebug admin tools...(two textfields)

Well a bit late merry christmas to you all....and I'll include a very early 
happy new year wish too :)
