-The intention here is to provide information about the status of the
-different translation files.
-
-   1998-02-03: no.po for Norwegian by Lars G. Bjønnes (larsbj@ifi.uio.no)
-       Pretty much done except for some keyboard-shortcuts, and a few
-       things that I don't know how to translate yet.
-       Updated for 0.12.0
-
-   1998-01-23: es.po, Spanish by Daniel Manrique and Alejandro Aguilar
-        Sierra. Advanced but not yet complete. Send comments about this
-       translation to (lyxesp@modelos1.atmosfcu.unam.mx) and get the 
-       latest version from http://www.linux.org.mx/lyx/es.html.
-
-   1999-04-30: da.po for Danish by Asger Alstrup (alstrup@diku.dk):
-       Pretty much done for 1.0.2, except for some keyboard shortcuts.
-
-   1998-07-27: Updated sv.po, Swedish by Joacim Persson (sp2joap1@ida.his.se)
-       Complete, in the sense that it works. (except some shortcuts in a
-       few hard-to-crack dialogs)
-       
-   1998-02-01: de.po, German by Peter Metternich and Peter Sütterlin
-        Complete as of pre8, allthough some translations could be nicer.
-        Shortcuts do work, allthough some are missing (not enough
-        unique letters...).  Additional shortcut definition file 
-        menus_de.bind available.
-
-   1998-02-11: hu.po, Hungarian by Peter Kremer & Andras Kadar
-        Menus and some simple dialog box are done. Additional shortcut
-       definition file menus_hu.bind available.
-
-   1998-11-27: fr.po, by Emmanuel Gureghian <gureghia@spi.lip6.fr>, with
-        *slight* changes by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes. All strings are basically
-        translated, but the keyboard shortcuts have not been updated and
-       the translation could really be improved. Feel free to contact 
-       Emmanuel if you want to help.
-
-   1998-12-02: ru.po, by Victor Lavrenko <lyx@lavrenko.pp.ru>. Last updated
-        on 1999-01-29. 
-
-The status of the other files is unknown at this point in time, but
-most should be pretty good.
