Hi Alain,

it's right the same problem with the german translation. Additionally
lots of phrases and commands are not translated when the distro files
are generated, although the language file contains all information. For
instance most day and month names still are in english - not only in the calendar.

Due to different syntactical rules in different languages the actual
language file is no good option. It would be much better to use complete
phrases containing all needed variables, so you can put them in the
sentence, where you need them. This would make all translations much
easier to handle and could avoid some very strange expressions and
phrases I had to use in the german translation.

Any suggestions?
