Ooouch, didn't check for 64bit compatibility (the toolserver is 32bit
userland), so I hat to modify the scripts. During this, an old dump
needed to be inserted, so that all OK status from the ölast hours was
lost. The translations are still therte, they just need to be marked as
OK again.

yes, i'm very sorry I messed up things that bad :/
After restoring the bad database from a dump, i realized that the dump
did not have proper utf-8 encoding, so a lot of data was lost. right now
