I suspect you will still loose things.  I've not tried it (so I can't
say for sure), but that's my concern.  But any text editor will do very
nicely.  (And as the interest is in the translation, how it looks
on-screen or in output shouldn't matter till the end, when you generate
it up).

A CVS tree is a good idea, but hosting on samba.org is rather
difficult.  If you can get a sourceforge (or similar) account, then you
will probably find it easier.

I don't speak a word of german (so I'm not quite sure why I'm in this
discussion at all :-) but I think we can get a reasonable process going.

I think this is starting to move in the right direction.
