Are you thinking about using some kind of common localization tools for this?
Something like po- or xliff-files?
In this case I would be happy to provide a pootle (http://pootle.wordforge.org)
server installation (e.g. http://translate.systemausfall.org), that would allow
people to translate the messages via a nice web interface.
And I would also translate ezmlm-idx into German :)

In case you need help to create po/xliff-files, then I would also be willing to
code some scripts to generate these files, if necessary.

Any opinions?

regards,
Lars
