Hi,
sorry to be consistent (or is it insistent or persisent...). We need this
to be available in an editable open format, this does not need to be
discussed either. We will not be able to pay for 20 different languages
and adapt to recent changes every other day, this will not work.

usable open template that can be filled with other language content at an
hours notice with no additional cost.

Arnulf.
