The major part missing in Norwegian is (half of) the critics - so
boring to translate...

I would say that the same goes for Norwegians - hardly any difference
between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian talking people when it comes to
English. However, the reason I translated ArgoUML to Norwgian was to
use it in our university college/in education. The students are good
in English, but not when it comes to technical language...

French/Spanish is quite important, I guess. If we could get the French Debian 
team interested in ArgoUML, it would be done in vey little time (but
they prefer to work with po-files)... In my view, big languages should
have good coverage, so we can increase our user base. And as I hinted,
one way to improve the stats is to get Debian translation teams
interested in ArgoUML, but then we need to get a newer version into
Debian: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/argouml

PS! ArgoUMl comes prepackage with
Debian - http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/argouml
FreeBSD - http://www.freshports.org/devel/argouml/
Any more? Should we contact with the people contributing these packages
to ensure that the versions don't lag too far behind?
