Thanks for porting it.  Despite its various peculiarities it is the
main browser I use on linux and FreeBSD.

Actually many of the comments are in English.   The ones in Czech are
indeed in the kind of Czech that would make a grammar teacher
blush.  Or inflict bodily injury on the student.  Depends on the
teacher.  I set about translating them, toning down some of the more
extreme bits.  At my current rate it would take about 20-30 hours to
do the whole source.  I will almost certainly lose interest before
then, so I should be more selective.  I did javascript.c--not a good
test case since most of the source code is the number 2--and part of
ipret.c.  I assume that javascr.c and jsint.c are also of interest
since the javascript part of the port is not working.  What other files
are you interested in?

The debugging messages are also in a mix of languages as are variable
names.  I have been ignoring both.  Translating variable names is
not a good idea, but if you are curious about any debugging messages
just email me.
