Kulath: Minor query about wording for translation onto other language pages.

Minor query about wording for translation onto other language pages.

New page

Re: the sentence "The GRAMPS manual is translated in 3 languages: French, Dutch and Slovak."

Perhaps this should say:
"The Gramps manual is available in four languages, English, French, Dutch and Slovak"?

This same wording would then be appropriate for all the diferent langauge pages.

In any case, "The GRAMPS manual has been translated into 3 languages: French, Dutch and Slovak" would be more correct.

−	It is easy to generate a basic/simple (dirty ?) xml/docbook to wiki converter (title, paragraph, link). I just have problem with image. Should I link to internal wiki [[Image:first-open.png\|thumb]] or a web link [http://gramps-project.org/gramps-manual/2.2/C/figures/first-open.png] ?
