Just a heads up for @andrewbird and @PerditionC ...

New language submission for FreeCOM.

That's great, but I'm not sure where you got the initial import of Freecom's strings from as the filenames are formed differently, not DOS compliant and at present Freecom's build utilities won't process them.

Freecom's utilities expect strings/french.{err,lng}, your repo has source/freecom_{err,lng}.fr. I actually prefer a hybrid of the two, but for now I'll just rename it to pt.{err,lng}, or else the utilities will need changes. As we already have a translation called pt_br.{err,lng}, what should happen to that?

Hi @andrewbird, all of the translation files in FD-NLS came from several places. Sources in packages, the abandoned localization project and developer website. You are more than welcome to rename the ones in FD-NLS and issue a pull request. The current tool-chain to update the translation status for programs ignores source files. So, it's not like you'll break anything. :-)

For the UTF-8 versions, just keep the extra .UTF-8 extension on the end. You'll be ignoring them in the build process anyway.

PT_BR? That is a good question. Honestly, I have know idea. One is Brazilian and the new one is European. I don't really know how different they are. After I commit this message, I will forward you the email I received with the European versions. I'm sure they would be happy to answer any of those questions and make any changes to the files you need.

Ignore question about pt_br, it's cp850/8 and you probably need to import it too

I though I had your email, but they are all just responses through notification platforms. Please email me so I can send it to you. My more or less public email is easy to remember and has really good spam filtering. :-)

@andrewbird Wilhelm just provided an update to the German translation for FreeCOM. I guess there were numerous typos in the previous one.
