	Up til now, I have seen no signs of someone wanting to take over, so it seems that 1.4 will be released without a Swedish translation. It saddens me a bit since I can't help but thinking that the Swedish translation will pass into a completely useless state and all the effort from all who have participated the last years will be made into nothing. It is my firm belief that the translation is of a very good quality (even though the lack of error reports ''might'' mean that most Swedes run the game in English), and I sincerely hope that it eventually will end up in capable hands.

 Late in December 2004 I quit my grad student position due to complete disinterest, and was without a job. During the unemployment period, which lasted for 8 months from the beginning of 2005, there was of course lots of time for the translation work.
-In October 2005 I started working at an IT security company, and since then, life has not quite been the same. On April 14th 2006, me and my girlfriend got married. She was pregnant (no, we did not marry because of that, we married because we wanted to), and in August our daughter was born.

 On December 13th 2007 I decided to resign as a maintainer of the Swedish translation. From being a very active translation team in the beginning, we have gradually lost translator interest and thus pace, and the last year the translation has mostly been a one-man effort. After 1.2 was released I started thinking about when it would be a suitable time to quit, but since there were noone to take over the maintainership I remained. As time went by, my enthusiasm for the translation dropped more and more, but I still wasn't sure it was time to let go. Then I realised that it made no sense to aim for a 100% translation for 1.4 and then leave; it would be better to leave and let someone else do the rest and leave ''their'' imprint on the 1.4 translation, while I would continue supporting the 1.2 version until 1.4 was released (and 1.2 was discontinued).

 I'm tephlon, or rather, that's my nick. Why tephlon? Well, my wife seems to think that no problems ever stick on me, so she calls me "teflonmannen", which is "the teflon man" in Swedish. My own interpretation is that I have a non-stick memory. The "ph" instead of "f" is just... Well, I don't know. Leet? Whatever.

-So, I guess it is quite understandable that the Swedish translation work is a bit slow. It is most often only me working on it, even though new, and some old :), translators drop by and do some work on it. I have started to think that it is time to realize that I'm in another phase of my life, and that I should let the maintainership go to someone else. Don't know what's best though, hanging around until a translator shows up who is willing to take over, or just leave things and hope that someone will take over eventually?

 === Bulk translation ===
-First, there is the work of getting the "bulk text" down. Choosing the word "bulk" might seem a bit condescending, but it's really not, it's just what it is. It is hard, and often boring, work; not very rewarding. During this phase the aim is just to get the strings translated; just going through one string after another, and translate.
+First, there is the work of getting the "bulk text" down. Choosing the word "bulk" might seem a bit condescending, but it's really not, it's just what it is. This is the hardest part. One can feel that the translation never is finished, going through one string after another. It is often during this phase that the "tone" of the translation is established. It is important to get this right; when going through an existing translation, such as during proof-reading, it is difficult to break out of a "tone" that has been struck during this phase. '''The most important thing during this phase is to keep in context''', even though it can be difficult to see the context in the separate msgids.
