At this point the change is made, but a Pull Request still to be created.

Notes:
- The GitHub for windows application is not needed.
- When you prepare your XML language file in Notepad++, it’s suggested to use the “Edit -> Blank Operations -> Trim Trailing Space” function, to remove needless spaces at end of lines, because the Github will list the space differences, and that’s just unnecessary work when checking the diff.

I used XMLTreeNav 0.3.1 (i created also italian language for that) to check all XML nodes and found several
Untranslated nodes (English available but not for Italian)
Orphan nodes (old nodes available in Italian but not in English).I translated the English nodes and purged Italian orphan nodes.
I suggest to use XMLTreeNav to make a deep check of your language.
