Translations

To start working on a new language, say 'es' (Spanish), add it to the Makefile LANGS variable and run make. Then translate locale/es.po using your favorite PO editor. Run make every time the Python code strings change or the .po is modified.

Once done, don't forget to distribute the new language by adding it to the PKGBUILD package().
