I have done a couple of GUI translation projects before which have turned
out fine.. And besides, like I have said before, for the GUI part, this is
not a simple translation: it would be a Tux-Math style GUI library with
input from an external file to create the menus at runtime, so as to make it
completely extensible.. So instead of translating each page individually,
which would be a hassle to maintain if even the slightest modification was
made in the original GUI, All that would have to be changed is a couple of
lines in the menu input file..
