Get updated localizations before shipping 1.5

[dwood]

Using Peter Hosey's Localization Helper <http://boredzo.org/localization-helper/> against r326, I found a few issues with the localizations. Maybe our localizers could make a pass here so that when 1.5 is released it will be fully localized?

Brief overview: DE, FR/FR_CA, IT need one update, to fix this string:

"%1$@ can't be updated when it's running from a read-only volume like a disk image or an optical drive. Move %1$@ to your Applications folder, relaunch it from there, and try again."

SV needs the above plus: "%@ downloaded"

ES needs several updates:

"An error occurred while relaunching %1$@, but the new version will be available next time you run %1$@."
"%@ downloaded"
"You already have the newest version of %@."
"%1$@ can't be updated when it's running from a read-only volume like a disk image or an optical drive. Move %1$@ to your Applications folder, relaunch it from there, and try again."
"An error occurred while parsing the update feed."
"%1$@ %2$@ has been downloaded and is ready to use! Would you like to install it and relaunch %1$@ now?"
"Checking for updates..."
"Cancel Update"
"An error occurred while installing the update. Please try again later."
"Should %1$@ automatically check for updates? You can always check for updates manually from the %1$@ menu."
"An error occurred while downloading the update. Please try again later."
"A new version of %@ is ready to install!"

Oh ho ho! What a useful little tool! And yes, I'd welcome patches to the localizations! Thank you, sir.

I was able to get the missing French string from Ronald Leroux, who has done the translation of other strings for Sparkle:

"%1$@ ne peut pas être mis à jour quand il fonctionne à partir d'un volume en lecture seule, comme une image disque ou un lecteur optique. Déplacez-la %1$@ dans votre dossier Applications, relancez-le à partir de là, et réessayez."

However, looking at the .lproj files manually, I see a ton of inconsistencies among the translations available. It looks like this localization tool is not picking up a lot of differences.

It seems that so much has changed in the localizations, that it would be a good idea to contact everybody who is contributing, and ask them to run a full update on everything. And maybe if they don't respond after a certain time, take the obsolete localizations out of the project. Just my thought.

Thanks for passing along the French fix. I'll shoot out emails to
other localizers sometime soon.
