Yes. I understand it's much work to work on two clients.

( But for the longer future I would advice to take a look at WxWidgeds.
When you use that, you don't need to add a toolkit, because the original
toolkit of the platform is used. )

I did this already for the Dutch language. The Dutch translation is in
the GTK version, but not in the QT version. Are there problems with the
translation?

Success with the good work...
