RE: PDesk rewrite back on track

Hi Christian,

Can you send me your personal email to [email protected], 
and I will send you the files I need translated?

There is not much to translate yet, but it will grow as I get that part 
taken care of.

My focus for the next few days will be making sure that things *can* be 
internationalized before I do something that can't be undone.

Thanks
Rick
