Hi,

Its a partially-translated copy from way back, (with some german translations
accidentally
left in) that got mangled by netscape and the fadas were mistranslated.

I (with some friends) have started an Irish translation; its not public because
I am
moving house and don't have an internet connection right now from home;
(I have one at work, but can't submit back to the GNOME develeopers easily).

I have an account on the gnome server, and can submit patches; I've also got
some
other translations for gnu tools and KDE stuff.

I can send you work-to-date, and hope to get back on line soon.

Note: my Irish is pretty bad; I have been doing this as a learning exercise,
getting a
teacher-friend to correct misteaks. If you feel bits are wrong, correct me;
don't take
my translations as definitive.

There is an official GNU translation list for Irish that has two members on it
(me included) and no traffic at ga at li.org; any volunteers should subscribe to
it.
