Ah!

And I just fixed a bug in the help clicks that only manifested itself on 
texts of 1 or 2 characters...
Lets do another developer release, that would give us a bit more time to 
stumble on bugs.

I wonder if the header lines in the Engine-Output window should also be 
marked for translation
(multi-PV setting, exclusion header and column headers):

static char columnHeader[MSG_SIZ] = "dep\tscore\tnodes\ttime\t(not 
shown:  tbhits\tknps\tseldep)\n";
static char *titles[] = { "score\t", "nodes\t", "time\t", "tbhits\t", 
"knps\t", "seldep\t" };

            snprintf(header[which], MSG_SIZ, "\t%s viewpoint\t\tfewer / 
Multi-PV %s = %d / more\n",
                                       appData.whitePOV || 
appData.scoreWhite ? "white" : "mover", s, cps->option[multi].value);

    safeStrCpy(exclusionHeader, "exclude: none best 
+tail                                          \n", MSG_SIZ);

The problem with the latter one is that the current code writes 
excludedmoves behind it, assuming it knows where
the white space after 'tail' starts, and where the '+' before it is in 
the string to change it into '-'. It woudl require some
code changes to allow the length of this taxt to change in translation. 
The columnHeader is also recreated with the labels
in a different order from 'titles', when you collapseor open columns.

I don't really feel like embarking on bug-prone modifications again...
