Hmh, I wonder where Matthew Hudson, esq., got his word list for his

Actually, I've just yesterday morning created a Wiki-page to pool the
state-of-the-art knowledge on how to localize Newts, any comments to
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/LocalizeNewtonForInternationalUsers
or this thread most cordially welcome.
