Thanks a lot.  Some of the other devs were surprised--and amused--that 
when we finally got an en_us translation, it came from someone on the 
French trans^H^H^H^H^Hlanguage translation team.

Correcting those issues is exactly the kind of thing Robert McNamara was 
asking for in 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/434589#434589 .  So, if 
you get a chance to work on some of them, we'd be very grateful.

Thanks, again.
