Currently the tool gets it's updates from the api / xapi servers. This 
is ok for >300 countries but it wouldn't work for boundary-relations, 
cities, countries, islands, streets, airports, ...

As soon as the toolserver holds an up2date version of the osm-database 
(or at least a postgis database for mapnik) I plan zo implement a tool 
that allows translation of arbitrary things.

I don't have the servers nor do I have the knowledge to do my own 
diff-import, so i'm conditioned on the wikimedia toolserver. Another 
benefit of waiting until thei're ready is, that we'll have up2date 
localized maps then, so you cold see your success.
