Also, I wanted to confirm that we'll be able to place a SquirrelMail
copyright on the translation (see the 2nd line in most translation
files).  You are also encouraged to translate any of the plugins that
you would like.  :-)

As well, perhaps the better translation to compare to (for at least
the headers at the top) is the Swedish one in locale/sv_SE.

Thanks,
