I really meant no disrespect, though.

Sure, but I sadly didn't know that at the time.

Well, *bleep*.

Alright, I'll still ignore this for the time being. I really don't wanna
have to re-roll the tarball at this stage (and re-package the Windows
installer which is actually quite time-consuming) just to remove a
translation.

But the next release will then use the upstream translation or none at
all. I'll also try to be more wary of accepting translations of
languages I don't speak.

Thanks for the report!

Best regards,
Peter
