Should I sign up for bt-translators then and make comments there to keep the 
signal to noise ratio good on this list? I'm not sure exactly how much I can 
devote to this on a regular basis but I wouldn't mind proofing strings since 
I'm an English native speaker (American dialect except for a few British ou 
spellings I picked up here and there from Canadian on-line associates) on a 
regular basis as needed. I somewhat speak a handfull of other languages (I 
can read some french if I've got a context as to what's being talked about, 
and I had a year of German at Uni though sadly not much of it stuck, and two 
years of Spanish in highschool that I barely remember) but I have a good head 
for translating and may be able to suggest things that will translate better.

Ok, I might could work up a sed or perl script or something to print them out 
at some point, if we want me to do this regularly.
