Yes, eventually we'll have localized screenshots as well. But as said
before and you correctly point out as well, the strings at HTA have to
be current with the apps/prefs/system in SVN and they have to be
validated in order to appear in Haiku.

One could have a look what pages are still missing for some translation
and bundle together pages to get in sum, I dunno, 50kb per task (plus
taking into account content-like pages that don't require a lot of work
but weigh in rather heavily kilobyte-wise).
I would only start creating these task-packages, when there's actually
someone there seriously interested in doing it. Otherwise it takes just
too much time.
Currently there are some pages left for Italian, Japanese, Portuguese,
Swedish and Ukrainian.
Since we need someone checking the work, only currently active
translations are candidates for the Code-In. Before handing out task
packages, we'd of course have to ask the respective Language Manager if
there's someone willing to be the mentor/checker.

Easiest to hand out the HTML page and getting back the translated page
and copy&pasting the blocks in the online tool.
