Thanks for the feedback.

The translation easily needed a bit of touchup. Most of the changes are 
simply fixing
errors or adding missing strings.

The patch got sent prematurely due to a slip on my part. I have some more
proofreading to do, and I will do a second consistency pass. I will do a 
revised
patch if I come across any errors on my part.

Correct. I've removed quotation marks where I've deemed it to be for the 
better.
My main reasoning for going with single over double quotation marks is 
purely
aestethics.

I did put some consideration into which quotation marks to use, as both 
conventions
were used. This is the more nitpicky part of my changes, but I am of the 
opinion
that the convention I decided to go with looks cleaner and is easier on 
the eye. It was
not an /issue/ per se, only aestethics.
