Subject: Big translation project

I would not present this translation project if it
wouldn't be exceptional:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/xul-how2l10n.html

So mozilla project needs localization.

Few points:
1) It's big job. Just checked my native language file,
it was over 500 k.
2) Esperanto is already translated 2000-02-22.
3) One have to translate huge pile of sentences
varying from "Reload" or "OK" to 

A network proxy is used to provide additional security
between your computer and the Internet (usually along
with a firewall) and/or to increase performance
between networks by reducing redundant traffic via
caching.

I'm personally quite interested in seeing some
computer specific words used. On the other hand I
think this project can kill easily. Still many
translations are done by one guy - native though.
