Hi. Thanks for the bug report. The bug you describe is related to the
table widget e-tree. I'll look into it tonight. So you should probably
leave it untranslated for now.

Here's another heads up. I just unmarked a string for translation since
it is not finished. It's in procdialogs.c line 178.

Thanks for helping translating the application. Let me know if there are
any other issues.

Regards,
Kevin
