Not easily. We could probalby do it for languages like german, but for
languages like russian and japanese there's not telling how much we'd
break... I think it'd be much easier for the translators, considering
they have what's hopefully a readable template to work from (in the
english presskit)

Oh. Yeah, you'd have to have each translator do it.

Ok. We just copy it anyway, so that doesn't really matter.

Not sure - I certainly wouldn't go into doing russian etc on my own, as
I wouldn't know how to actually fix a lot of the things.
