I know just what you mean :(

I will be away for a few days beginning the week of the 2nd.

I noticed the other day that some changes that I did in the hp5400 
backend created a compile warning about an initialization bug.
I don't know how I missed that but I will fix it in the next couple of days.

Put me down for en_GB translations.
I will check in with my daughter on the French translations but don't 
hold your breath.
If someone else would like to take them on, then please feel free.

Cheers,
Ralph
