Ok. I have already started on it. The problem is though that this file 
contains an not unsignificant amount of french strings in it. It seems 
to me they (mostly?) are just duplicates of the same strings in English, 
so mostly I have just ignored them. There are 5658 strings, I don't know 
how many there are supposed to be though ...

Done.
About 1000 strings finished and many fuzzies, still a lot more to do :-P

Kbabel is my favorite (although Kaider sonn will be the replacement and 
probably even better :-)
