[Localization] Translations

[Bert Freudenberg]

I prefer to translate as much as possible, too. What does "malla"  
mean? Is it a literal translation of "mesh"?

We had that discussion on the German list - we could translate "mesh  
network" as "Maschennetzwerk" and "mesh" as "Masche" but that doesn't  
quite fit ("Masche" refers to a single loop in knit fabric).  
"Maschennetz" would work, but I wonder if it wasn't better to have a  
less technical term (like "XO net")?
