[Gpg4win-devel] Multilanguage Compendium

[Jochen Saalfeld]

Thank you for your feedback!

I was wondering, if org-mode supports *po files, so we can outsource the
translations to *po files and manage them seperately. This idea would
have the advantage, so the translator doesnt need to worry about design
of the document through the translation-process.

Kind regards
Jochen
