Translating openSUSE

As intermediate piece I decided to translate openSUSE base system into Estonian. Surprisingly beginning was very fast and simple, it took some hours to read a bit wiki and get access to svn repository. After 2 weeks hard work 62% from about 25K strings is translated, 70% is the limit for including into release and there are 10 days left until end of first cycle. Files from elder modules (most of YaST) are very easy to translate because strings have excellent comments. I just found this not fair that only distribution with GOOD estonian translation was Mandriva. And as I've used SUSE since 6.2 release, it is my personal shame that SUSE is still untranslated. :)
