Hello all,
In order to get the translations up as quickly as possible for the .14
release, I am continuing forward with uploading the .po files, and going
back to the issues below to see if I can resolve. I am still waiting on a
few more translations and will push to get those up as quickly as possible.

I copied them in and saved, it reorderd to put the untranslated strings on
