If you need help in translating this module to at least german, please

As always this goes together, that someone is preferring what you wrote 
and others may say these things are useless. I think it is always the 
maintainers choice on how he is developing things.

I remember someone who did harden a webmin-module and gave this back to 
the maintainer, so do not let me be someone who stops you in this ;-)
