Thanks Christian
Makes sense for icons, although I still object to abiword using the
letter A three times for Bold Italic and Underline instead B I U, because
Abiword specifically has the infrastructure to support localised Icons.
It is important to know when to bend the rules.
More importantly this competition specifically asked for Logos and
Logotypes.
The project brand OpenClipArt.org will certainly not need to be
translated although some might be tempted to try and translate "Open Clip
Art Library" I wouldn't recommend it.
