Comment: First tests of localizations have been positive

Great! I see this is going on! Started out on my own, in bash, to translate this yacs, but this sounds way better.

Since i took some hurdles (read: welcome in qoute hell!) i like to share the script with you anyhow:

#!/bin/bash
#-------------------------------------------------------
# transyacs.sh
# a small script to help localize YACS and others who
# use 'the poor mans localization' method :)
# run in the top-level directory, you will get an extra file
# for each translation, like: about.php and about.php_nl
#
#
# unpack the yacs zip file, cd to it and run this script
# translate, and send back in!
#
# share and enjoy!

# the only thing to change in the script:
translate_to="nl"       		# language you want to 
                                # translate to
                                # use two letter codes
                                
translate_from="en"             # root-language; this should
                                # catch all translations

translationstring='$local'	  # to identify the localization string 

separator="_"                   # the character _before_
                                # the root-language country code
                                # (see $label and $label2 below)

label="${separator}${translate_from}"
label2="${separator}${translate_to}"
