That's exactly the way I handle it. Of course, I wont stop
developping the language just because I translated something. I tend
to call older versions of language 'X' 'Ancient X'. :-) I don't give
version numbers...
Relay 10 is a good example -- Qthyn|gai changed quickly. Relay 11 is
an example with a grammar mistake, but tha's a different story...
