A new version of AppleGlot should be posted to the ADC site in a  
couple of weeks at most. Intel-based .strings files have been  
supported by several builds of AppleGlot CLI (used internally), but  
there are a couple of issues to solve with the GUI application before  
it can be released to the public.

Hang in there...

Indeed. I'll send a quick notification to this list when this happens.
