That's stupid. I just checked and noticed that L18N was done by 
generating multiple gorm files. This is really the last resort, since it 
makes things unmanageable in terms of changes.
Multi-language is a high burden. I dont' know the best way to do it, but 
for sure I prefer to maintain just a string file. I'll see what I can do 
in the short and long term here.

If you have a problem, please always test in English (or the native 
version you think the App is developed in) before reporting a bug.

This test is a fine loop... but you cannot check a proper import if the 
export is bad. So please test with other sources if you can.

To my knowledge of vCard (but... check yourself various RFC versions and 
try to interpret) it is wrong.

At a glance, this is wrong too. I think

TEL;WORK;VOICE;X-GNUSTEPLABEL=WorkPhone;X-GNUSTEPID=1;1:0605040302


should read

TEL;type=work;type=voice;X-GNUSTEPLABEL=WorkPhone;X-GNUSTEPID=1;1:0605040302


what do you think?

Exactly, I think the export is wrong.. it is now mismatched to the 
import which I believe is correct.
