Only simple tables are translated. Translation of more complicated tables
is painful and I won't do it now. Here is an example:

This text should be kept in one page even if we had to move it around,

These characters are special in TeX, so they need to be escaped

Thanks to all of those who contributed by reporting bugs and suggesting
some improvements. Special thanks go to Nelson Beebe for all of his valuable
contributions and suggestions. He is responsible for making the translator
portable to other computers. He also made significant improvements to
the translation of manuals.
