Hi,

as I said during FOSDEM, I'm willing to translate the website, blog
posts, and manual into French.  My only concern is that the translations
may fall out of sync without anyone noticing.  With gettext, it's easy
to know when strings are not translated, but what about the solution
that would be used by haunt?
