Like I said, PROGRAMMER implies the person who wrote this

programmer of the entire project (I don't see why you'd think that...
just because my name is in lib\rtl\foo.c doesn't mean I wrote 
*all* the kernel).
I don't. Maybe I'm missing something here, but looking at the diff the code
was already in sol.rc.
This code was moved into En.rc, then a copy was taken of En.rc and named as
De.rc, and translated into German
So if 2 copies were made of existing code in sol.rc, and one of these copies
was translated, all the original code still remains (with the exception of
the translations). Thus, the programmer who wrote the original code is still
the programmer.
It's similar to me taking lib\rtl\foo.c splitting it into 2 files and naming
myself as the programmer.
As I said though, I might have something wrong here.
