[Chandler-dev] Chandler in French and in Finnish!

[Markku Mielityinen]

Hi Philippe, Brian, and Heikki,

It looks like we may have a couple of translations ready this week; 
Heikki asked me to do a small, proof of concept like, translation of 
Chandler but as the amount of required work is not that big, at least 
for localizing the menus and some of the graphics, there is really no 
reason to go only half way. I was also supposed to write a small 
tutorial about my work, see bug 6657, but as Philippe already beat me to 
the punch (only by a day), I think that I am going to improve the wiki 
page that Philippe already started.

Cheers,
    Markku
