Thanks. Committed with some corrections, notice that:

1 - All files should be utf-8 encoded, and not iso-xxx, hence no &xxx; 
except for those already in English text, i.e. " and < and 
>, plus a few ones I don't remember at the moment. Hence you should 
use any text editor to your convenience that is able to handle utf-8 
correctly.

2 - In the xml files, the header should be:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>

Normally, it is already as is in the English file, so no need to change 
it.

3 - The users guide is not synchronized with English one, so as usual I 
tag it so that it is clear for users that the document is outdated.

4 - The document xml/doc.en.xml (not a big one) is not translated into 
German, so that it's pretty not obvious for German readers to know that 
any documents under it is translated, in this case the user's guide. As 
a consequence, the doc/nav.de.inc does not appear (navigation bar in 
documentation) though committed.

There is some logic in the files organization (top ones should be 
translated before any subsidiary ones), hence it's better to follow it 
to the benefits of maximal users' experience.

I will change the internationalization guide accordingly, since it does 
not give the best indication in this matter (to put it briefly, it is 
fully wrong here).
