Elektron Musical Instruments

I'll be releasing the first version of MD Machine Lab sometime this week, so it would be 
cool to have as many things translated as possible. However, if you don't get the 
translations done by then, don't worry. I've built a software updating system into my 
program, so we add/change translation tables later on.

And, yes, "yes" and "no" should be translated ;)

Also, in addition to the ".string" files I posted, there will be another 5 to 10 words to 
translate (from the buttons and menus in the GUI). I'll post them as soon as I'm sure which 
ones I need translations for.
