Thanks.

Yes, I know this but my extension is still in very alpha state and for 
the moment is not open-source. It will eventually become fully 
open-source but for the moment I have to rewrite my stuff completely to 
use TYPO3. The application was originally in four languages and as such 
I already have the translation for these languages. When it becomes 
stable enough and I know I may disclose it, then I'll ask the translator 
list to do this the best way, and, as you said, not bother anymore with 
keeping translation up-to-date.
