So I created this file https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/cc= c?key=3D0Ahngu1CNj7wddHBqSk9nT0JmcTJ2bXcyLTFtTERZUn= c

I'm in the process of translating Lojban column.
You are= free to add
1. Rows for other useful phrases.
2. Colum= ns for your native languages (so you are not even required to be familiar w= ith Lojban at all).

Any feedback is welcome.
