Or that the message catalogs are not being found at runtime.  I recently 
discovered that the Windows installers are putting the message catalogs 
in the wrong directory structure on Windows.  So Franz and Basil, if you 
are seeing these buttons not getting automatically translated on 
windows, please try the following:

1. Go to your site-packages/wx-2.6-msw-*/wx/locale dir.

2. Look in the subdir corresponding to your language code.  If there is 
a LC_MESSAGES dir there, move the wxstd.mo file up one directory level 
and then remove the LC_MESSAGES dir.  In other words, the structure 
should be locale/<lang>/wxstd.mo, not locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/wxstd.mo.

3. Try running a Wizard again without manual translation and see if the 
buttons are now translated for you.
