[Etoys] Translating projects

[Scott Wallace]

Hi, Bert,

Good stuff!

After loading the update, however, I found that when I dropped a  
project created in another language, specifically Pierre-Andre's  
"traitementSons.015.pr", onto my olpc dev image, I got a message-not- 
understood, because "Locale previous" was nil...  debug log appended  
below.

This is probably a problem only affecting evolved dev images -- an up- 
to-date plug-in image didn't have trouble with this.  But perhaps  
it's still something worth bulletproofing against...

Cheers,

   -- Scott
