As I already said, this is not practicable as we need to care for all
languages. AFAIK, we don't have infrastructure for forked translatable

Do you plan to do that via mail (gimp-developer(a)lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU)
or via IRC (#gimp @ GIMPNet)? If the latter, it would be nice if you
could ping me (my nick is "nils") as I may have something to add about
the technical aspects (.desktop files etc.).

I thought through mailing list but it looks like they have some
problems becase mailing list subscription page seams to be down so I'm
now going to IRC - I'll ping you.
Cheers,
Valent.
