I think I got it with "make update-po" (as described in "translation-help"). 
The result wasn`t allways optimal but a good start.

Another question: What about all the blanks within the strings? Are they used 
for proper indention? For example "Version      :" What should we do if the 
translated text is longer than the English one (including spaces)?
