Great work. I don't have to go and do my bug reports alrady :-).

I couldn't find those...?

Wonderful. It works much better now. Unfortunately, there are still a
few problems... Please see the attached screenshots (btw, what's the
list policy about files? attach them or better post links to a
website?).
1. Upon opening a new search window, the column headings for the
preview ("Bibelstelle" and "Vorschau", or "Reference" and "Preview"
in the english locale) are too big. I don't know how you come up
with the font that you select here; looks like 16pt to me or so.
2. After doing a search, the font of the column headings will be even
bigger (see 2nd screenshot). Also, the height of the reference
entries and the one of the preview are different, see the jump in
the green highlighting.
3. Looking at the results, you see that the bible text is shown
correctly, e.g. first result: The word "hörte" correctly contains a
umlaut o. But the book name is *not* showing correctly; it should
be "Matthäus". Why?
The answer is simple, the solution is not: The German language file
is iso8859-1 encoded, whereas the search form tries to print the
string interpreted as UTF-8. The easiest thing probably would be to
print the book names "as is" and print the bible text as UTF-8. A
conversion to UTF-8 is potentially difficult, because for other
languages, the source charset will not be iso8859-1 (e.g. the
Chinese locale or possible Russian/Greek translations).
However, I don't know how easy that is in terms of coding. The
really easiest thing would be to live with it and only fix it once
everybody uses a Unicode-aware system ;-). And that might be the
best option, because the problem is not so crucial. The preview
window shows everything correctly anyway.
4. Just another nit to pick: The tooltips are not shown correctly. ;-)
Actually, I'd vote for not displaying the tooltips over the bible
text anyway, they are only marginally useful. The font is the same
as for the column heading, so that they only display about one word
more than what I can already see in the list.
You'd never have thought that your life would be so complicated when
you embarked on this i18n thingie, did you? ;-)
Thanks for your efforts.
Greetings,
Christian
