Hi Richard & all,

no Ari is a Finn and he is brand new translator.
Problem a Ari described, number of untranslated strings, is at the 
moment very big as the "responsible" translators are not doing their 
"duty". I personally quitted because of harrassment.

The language question comes from the notice that some developers invent 
their own words, and of course it's a little hard to find good 
translation. And sometimes the terms just don't have translation to your 
language. Other thing is that sometimes developers also shorten some 
words (even without that it is needed).

Regards,
Kari
PS. I saw Ari replied already.
