 From this list only 351 and 522 apply to the desktop version. Rest is 
mobile only, so not relevant in the discussion over 4.7

Translations for NL/Dutch is complete.

And I did a very very quick scan of the user manual in English (which I 
consider leading). 2 observations:
- download from dive computer shows old screendump without Bluetooth 
option. The accompanying text is correct and referencing Bluetooth. So, 
just replacement of screendump
- the section of GPS recording with Subsurface-mobile shows the old 
credential setup pages. Simply use the image from the latest mobile manual.
