  Ah, don't forget that there are quite a few users in Japan.  Most of
them don't write up emails to Squeak-dev or I would say that most of
them even don't know the existense of such list because they are kids
or students:-)

  However, as you know, making this German version shouldn't involve
too much programming.  It can be achieved by editing a method which
contains the translation "dictionary."  (It has some 900 entrys in one
method...)  So, it is not an activity of adding 'script' to the m17n
system.
