[Caminol10n] Using iLocalize

Hi everyone!
So... I'm fed up with AppleGlot/AD Viewer and since J.J. Enser  
mentioned iLocalize as an alternative localization tool I looked for  
that app to see how it works, etc. It fits us like a glove! The app is  
easy to use and prevents errors on translating other app. Moreover, it  
is available in 9 different languages so almost everyone will be able  
to work with the language that feels more comfortable. Not only that  
but iLocalize is also free for open source projects, like Camino. I  
used it to translate Camino to Portuguese and everything went perfect.  
Now I will send the application to a reviewer and in a couple of weeks  
I'm going to send it for the list.

One issue iLocalize pointed out is relative to the file "Camino.app/ 
Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ 
SUStatus.nib". Since it's not inside a .lproj folder, it has not been  
translated by iLocalize and, I think, will not be localized by any  
other application such as AppleGlot. Should this be filed as a bug?

If Camino team decides to use iLocalize as its default localisation  
app I'm volunteering myself to write tutorials about it, just like  
Marcello Testi did for AppleGlot and Package Maker.
Stefano
