Hi all,

I just had a look at the entry.desktop for Upper Sorbian (hsb).
Dear fellow translators, please check what you have entered here. I can see 
that in most of the languages I speak (more or less), like Italian, 
Hungarian, Russian and Polish, the translations are plainly wrong which is 
enough to shake my confidence in what's provided for the languages I don't 
know anything about. 

Please note that Sorbian is *not* Serbian. We are a Western-Slavonic minority 
living in Germany, our language is called "Obersorbisch" in German, 
"górnołużycki" in Polish, "verchnelužickij" in Russian, "aukštutiniu, 
sorbiu," in Lithuanian (at least by my wife - can't find that u nosinė, 
sorry) and I distinctly remember that Sorbian is "szorb" in Hungarian, so I 
doubt "felnémet" is correct (since "német" is "German"). Similarlny doubtful 
seem some other translations but I don't know these languages well enough.

Cheers

Edi
