Okay, we might need this noted in the translation guide. If someone want to 
set it up by them selves, the guide should be somewhat usable.

I pointed that out to Rene, not the other way around. ;)

It is simply to see it in action as I go along. Sometimes it is very difficult 
to know how to translate a string because some of them are used out of 
context. Translating a string like one I found containing just the word "no" 
without knowing if it is used as "No sites created" or "No, that is not 
possible"  is just plain and simply impossible. In Danish, this word 
translates into either "Ingen" or "Nej" depending on if it is meant as a count 
or as a negation.
