I had an native speaker review your patches (trust, etc.) and I applied
them after review. Thanks. Too bad we didn't make it for Tails 0.18.

In another thread we are discussing moving from the Tor account on
Transifex to our own account. See
https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-l10n/2013-May/000528.html. Does
that thread make sense to you? We don't know much about Transifex
ourselves so far.
Taking this decision is the task that's blocking us so far.
But I'm confident that can indeed get all our translatable resources
into Transifex if we do that. Then I'm sure that your expertise with
this tool can be useful during this move.
