This immense change is something that I personally do not approve of.
Translating cities, huts, hamlets and jerk water somewhere is no
particular fun. And there is no particular use of this.

Hi,
I followed the thread.
This update is a lot of stuff. And it seems that it's still changing constantly.

No, that's why I suggested people should wait a week or so before making
major effort at translating it. Because as people report problems, I'm
going to try to make improvements.
