Sorry Tacvek that I did not keep you informed about the current 
development. Translation of level messages is up and running in my 
enigma workareas. It is fully integrated into the Gnu gettext system. 
Thus translating the user interface is a good starting point.

Level authors will supply the translators with the messages, comments 
how to translate and own translations to languages they are aware of by 
means of XMLified metadata to the level.

Of course there remain very few levels where authors did engrave English 
words into the levelsurface. But these levels still can be subtiteled 
with translations.

The level translation feature will be added to the next release. I still 
have to write the reference documentation.

Level authors who like to start early with preparation of their levels 
can drop me a note.
