Special Translations for Windows menu items, anyone?

Our preparations for the 2.2.0 release that features GnuCash on Windows are
right on track. Andreas and everyone have been squashing lots of bugs,
especially windows-specific ones, so that IMHO 2.2.0 for next weekend can be
released just fine.
There is one peculiarity about the newly introduced user-visible strings on
Windows: The menu items in the Windows Start menu by default will appear in
English. It is possible to translate those as well, but their translations
must be written into a different file than the normal po/LL.po files.
Instead, translations of our custom strings *during the Windows installer*
and *in the Start menu* have to be written into the control file of the Inno
setup.exe generator.
If anyone is up for translating these few strings to different languages, I've
appended the collection below, along with the existing German translation.
Each message simply is one line. If you want to contribute your translation,
just send it to me and I'll commit it to SVN.
Also, two text files are presented during the User while going through the
Setup wizard on Windows: COPYING for the license, and
doc/README.win32-bin.txt as an explanation after the installation has been
completed. For both files, translated versions can be supplied as well, as I
have already done for the README. If you are up for translating those as well
(and the README is probably more interesting), just submit these to me as
well.
Best Regards,
Christian
