Call for translations: Beru

[Robert Schroll]

Hi all,

I apologize for not getting all of your work released sooner, but Beru 
has been broken for the last month due to changes in the SDK.  But it's 
working again, I've released a second beta, and I'm committed to a 
string freeze.  Since last communication, there have been two string 
changes: a slight correction to an existing string and a new string 
that I missed before (sorry!).  Hopefully, this isn't too much of a 
pain to fix.

After using Beru in Spanish for a bit, I realized that some of the 
strings are used in places where there is limited space.  As a result, 
the translated strings may overflow.  I've added translator comments to 
those strings and include a guesstimate of how many characters will 
fit.  If any of you would like to go back and check, the relevant 
English strings are "Back", "Forward", "Contents", "Settings", "Font 
Scaling", "Line Height", "Margins", "Auto", "Make Default", "Load 
Default", and "Go".  If you find you are unable to get a translation to 
fit, please let me know and I'll investigate ways to make them degrade 
gracefully.

Also, there are a large number of translations that need review for 
French (Canada) and Romanian.  If people from those teams could look 
them over, I'd be much appreciative.

Thank you all for your hard work!

Robert
