This is a request for really quick and easy help from people who speak one of our website languages (Dutch,
Finnish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish)...

I gave up on perl and rewrote the parser / transformation utility with C++/Qt :-)
I re-ran things against the three files currently on Transifex and as far as I can tell the results look good.
I'd appreciate if people could check them in the various translations and tell me if they can spot issues

If your browser is set up in a non-English language that we support, it should show the localized version
as you click on those links (does that still work? I haven't tested that in a while). And in any case, you can
just use the language-selector at the bottom of each page...
One thing that I noticed (and am fixing as we speak) is that in the round-trip through GitHub the announcement
posts are still losing their correct translated category. I thought I had that fixed, but apparently I was wrong.
This is a GitHub/WordPress integration bug, not a problem with Transifex, though.
Thanks for everyone's help. Once we have these three pages/posts reviewed I can put the other pages up for
translation. As I mentioned before, I don't see much value in trying to translate all the older announcements.
