Thank you for testing!

I don't really know how to answer this.  We did do some translation
changes for this release, and one of Bruno's feedback on the pre-test
caused even more translation changes.  Is that enough to break things? 
If so I am sorry but you will need to have two copies.  The differences
between the translations are not critical, so there would be no problem
if libidn12 used the libidn11 messages or vice versa, but I don't know
if that really works or it just fails somehow and the user gets English
instead.  Depends on your local user group I guess.
