Can I consider that David and Frederic are both on axiom-dev ?

Actually that was the first part of Tim's proposal, I then asked  
about the UI, which is the reason why I mentioned it.

Haha :) Well, one thing I found, after taking a look at the source,  
is that there are actually only a small number of translatable  
segments _within_ Latex code. Pretty much all of the text is in  
distinct paragraphs that are not preceeded or folowed by code. So I  
just need to figure out a way to deal with the "embedded" part.

Thanks for the reference, I'll take a look at it.
