Hm, this is interesting, since for me it works. I proposed a localized  
german version but since you wanted a patch, I redid Tadzius proposals  
and fixed the last glitches.

To be honest: Because I could. :-)

OK. I didn't want to offend with this. Sorry for being so careless.

For your other thoughts: I understand to some extend but not  
completely. I'm sorry. See below.

Thanks.

To be honest, I really tried, also with your rfloat proposal but it  
seems I'm just not programmer enough to decode the many backlashes,  
asterisks, braces and often single characters into something  
meaningful to me without investing ten times more time someone  
seasoned would need. Not to mention to fix eventual errors, translate  
back (and introduce new errors). Sorry. I'll never be more than an  
ordinary user, I think.

I don't think that I should get credits for something proposed by  
Tadziu and fixed by yourself eventually.
