I would like to thank Walter Bender for filing a patch against my ticket with the upstream on this. I will follow through with the developer of batti to push it along and release it. Then when it is in the PO file, I will work on getting it localized in more languages, it is not a lot fo strings. It's hosted in Transifex, but only a few langs have been done. I may host a local copy for our localizers convenience and then see about upstreaming the PO files into Transifex.
