Hello Mathias!

Thanks the feedback. I don't see difference between manual page translations
and that which are available now in the 'po' folders. I think it can occur
anytime so that a translator/maintainer/developer doesn't have time for
their hobby work in any momment, so i don't think it's a real point in this
matter, or a good decision not to take his/her hardwork into official way.

Anyway, If I have time for it, i will follow the french-sampled, unsupported
way :) Thanks

Best Regards,
Laszlo Papp
