+<p>We need help translating Wine's resources into foreign languages. What this
+  covers is common dialogs such as the 'File Open' or 'Print' dialogs,
+  informational messages such as the crash dialog, some standard error
+  messages, but also the builtin tools such as Wine's notepad. When not
+  translated these can really impair Wine's usability for non-English

+  with these we would really be grateful.</p>
 <p>We also need a 'QuickStart/Howto' document that would describe the basic instructions
   for installing and configuring Wine in a bit more details than the README while being much
   smaller than the Wine User Guide (it could actually be a chapter of that guide). Then that
