That does not mean the problem does not exist.
Next time you think one of your problem has not been addressed in what

lists and not miss something in the meanwhile.

Note that we already have a translator list and that this list is hardly 
used at all.

title will stay on that subject :-)
Look at current title....

You might well be absolutely correct here Britty.
