Note that while this will translate the user interface, it will not 
translate messages in levels. We have not worked out a good system for this. 
And there may even be some levels where the solution depends on something 
english specific, so full translation may never be possible.

If you are interested, after translating the game, you can try translating 
the manual. Contact us at tha time for details if you intend to do so.
