Although that means you have to adapt the sources of the files you receive to 
use this intermediate translation file. Although I suspect this is something 
that could be put in cont-sys.tex (anyone for the exact command?) and make it 
a system wide local configuration. 

BTW isn't this something that sould be addressed by using  
\usetypescript[ber]? (Or did I miss something?)
