Yep; I thought about updating it when damned-lies went in, especially as  
damned-lies has an xml feed which would make it a wee bit faster to use.  
But, I never got round to it... (and I'd taken down my development box for  
a few months whilst decorating the room).

I personally would rather damned-lies would do the job for us; but due to  
the way it works (generating the page statically and not dynamically  
creating one for each request), means that the oft requested ability to  
sort translations by number to do is still wanting...

I may have a look at it again if I have any free time. Or if anybody has a  
request for it.

For those who've never seen gettrans; the script basically displayed a  
list of what modules needed some translation work.
