Hi, Exson:

Thank you very much for your translations. And it is a plaesure to help
people with this project.

Hi, Phil:

Yes, I agree with you. But it is gratifying to see the results.

For documentation purposes:

* My sources are:
    (1) Files .../locale/xx_XX.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po, the transation
for the English term;
    (2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, code inside the left panel
"Languages"; and
    (3) if available, people who speak those languages.

* Convention for language localisation ("language variant"):
    ["Language family" in local language] + ' ' + ["National variety" in
local language].
That is, to group by Language-family and to subgroup by National-variety.

The standard specifies between "code" (Language-family) and sub-code
(National-variety) to link them "...with a hyphen, though in some contexts
it's necessary to substitute this with an underscore", but I used a space.
I prefer something more close to the natural speaking of each users, but if
is wanted to keep the standard I can subtutute it by a '-' (hyphen) or a '
- ' (space hyphen space).

Best regards, Rafael.
