I had a look at the source code and there are translations done (.ts files) for de, es, it, fr, pt, ru and zh locale, but they are not used.

Following those bugs and questions (in Debian too)

it seems that upstream developers don't want to accept those translations.
cit. "We appreciate your offering to help, however we have a specific translation process we have to follow which doesn't allow for outside party translations."
That was three years ago and nothing happened since then.

Since there are also a patch available for Swedish language and other can be easily added, I think it should be nice to have a local branch set up for translating this application.
David, what do you think?
