Hi,

Firstly, thanks to all active language maintainers. Now...

New maintainer for the Swedish language

There is the new maintainer for the Swedish language.
Mikael Hallin, welcome on the board!

Current status
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

The total is 29 languages now. The new one is not really
new. It is the JapaneseEn which slightly modifies the
English one. Because it is derived from TranslatorEnglish,
it is reported as really obsolete, which is not true. The
newer translator.py script will be modified not to report
such translators this way.

Nine of the languages are up-to-date: Brazilian, Croatian,
Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and Russian.
Congratulations! (... also to myself ;)

Six of the languages are very close to the up-to-date
status. They reflect at least some changes since Doxygen 1.3
release: Chinese Traditional, Japanese, Portuguese, Serbian,
Spanish, and Swedish (ordered by alphabet and by status).
Good job!

Ten of the languages are slightly obsolete, but they still
require impementing not more than 18 methods: Danish,
Korean, Polish, Slovak, Catalan, Romanian, Slovene, Chinese,
Greek, and Ukrainian. (ordered by alphabet and by status).

Two of the languages -- Hungarian and Norwegian -- must
implement about 45 methods to become up-to-date. Please, try
harder. Or should we search for not-so-tired, new
maintainers? Keep in mind that the translator adapters, used
for your translator classes, make Doxygen slightly bigger
and more complex. After updating your languages, the
adapters can be removed.

  -----------------------------------------------
  We still have not found new Finnish maintainer. =20
  The translator became extremely obsolete, and=20
  it seems that the original maintainer is not
  in touch with doxygen anymore.
  -----------------------------------------------

Reminder: look at the attached translator report. If you
think that your language should be listed as up-to-date, but
it is not, you probably forgot to change the base class of
your translator class to "Translator". Then, you can run the
doc/translator.pl script to generate the translator report
and check the status of your translator report and see what
has to be done to make it up-to-date.

Note: The translator.pl is the original script that will be
replaced by translator.py one day. You can also give it a
try. In fact, it is almost one-to-one rewrite of the perl
version, so do not be disappointed if you like Python. It is
planned to be rewritten using the OO approach.
