Just an update, as I have been a little slower than expected (due to
re-installing my main pc over the weekend). I'm about 90% thru the
translation. There are a couple of sections I'm a bit dubious about my
translation, and I may need assistance from Guillaume or yourself.
I'll complete the first pass and highlight any dubious sections (where
I've made educated guesses) and you can correct any mistakes I've
made.  :-)
