I sat down some hours and prepared the attached patch.
I un-expanded all the funky useless tla expansions and tried to unify
terminology. Note that now all strings not beginning with a
vendor/software are uncapitalized since you may want to use it within
sentences, too.
Could you please test this patch and tell me whether you like it from a
translator's point of view?

 Chris
