I looked through the patch. Some of it fixes stuff the mutt crew haven't
addressed yet, e.g. in configure it changes:

ALL_LINGUAS="de ru it es uk fr pl nl cs id sk ko el zh_TW.Big5 pt_BR eo gl sv da"

to

ALL_LINGUAS="de ru it es uk fr pl nl cs id sk ko el zh_TW.Big5 pt_BR eo gl sv da jp"

Grrr.

Most of the rest of it seems to be a straight localization. Now if we
could get the mutt team to strip out all the English messages and
replace them with calls to a glossary plug-in, we'd have made a small
step for mankind.

Good.
