No-one is questioning whether it works.

Ah, you have that program which shrinks any file down to one byte ... ;-)

It has the advantage of any scripted language - just change with a text
editor and run. If you just want to translate the messages from english
to german, the only expertise you need is reading english and writing
german.

have to mess about with makefiles, find the missing libraries and all
that junk.
