I have to admit that I do also have my whole MPlayer installation in
English, even though I maintain the French manpage. I know, that's a

... but I just figure that as nobody else seems to be able (or is
willing to) to do the translation, better have it done by someone who
has some knowledge in both English and multimedia.
