Hello to all of you,

within the last couple of months, I had the pleasure to enjoy your help as 
translators within my little LTSP Webmin Configuration Module project.

I haven't done much for the last months, so the last release is long ago. 
Today, I have reassumed work because there was a nasty bug that deleted the 
entire configuration. This as well as a couple of other bugs are fixed right 
now.

I'd like to put a new release soon. But there have been some changes in the 
translation strings, i.e. now you can make translation more context 
sensitive. Example:

  no=Norvegian
  no=No

  ==> Conflict!

No you can do it this way:

  optionname_no=Norvegian
  otheroptionname_no=No

We had to do this multiple times.

If you have time and interest in helping again, I'd send you the current 
translation file of your language, the English file and a diff between the 
English original and your language translation which give you better hints 
what to change.

Sometimes this leads to having "untranslated" strings, because the English 
string is the same as your native one (think of translating "runlevel" :-). 
That doesn't matter, the only important thing is to have 95% translated, this 
is not a finetuning release.

If you cannot help, I'll regrettably have to drop official support for your 
language because of the major changes that happened.


Thank you very much,
  Christian Selig
