the lack of dates is but one of the unfortunate side-effects of
not having any of managers or marketing people on the team :-)
we'll probably have to fix that (the dates that is :-) pretty soon...

why wait for that! we already have localizations in 10 languages.
sure there will be some additional strings between now and 1.0, but
those are easy to add later. grab a copy of the source tree and
look at abi/docs/AbiSource_Localization.abw -- it contains all the
details for adding another language.

we use ispell internally, so if you have an ispell *.hash file
you should be able to switch to use it.
