I got just 2 additional bugreports, I am not sure it is enough ;-)

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32290
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32291

All four are fixed now, but please - really test it.  Until we are sure
that the quality of the conversion tool is good enough, it makes no
sense to upload the l10n versions of the help - it would unnecessarily
blow the size of the database with every improvement of the conversion
tool.

I have heard quite some complaints about the missing native language
versions already; I am not sure I've explained it well enough
previously, but this testing is blocking it.  So please - help me :-)

Thank you,
