Description

It's an improvement of this Countdown script from itthe.
Added multiple languages and precision of output.

New features:

• Support for multiple languages
  
• Support for limit the precision of the output (weeks, days, hours, minutes)

Languages supported:

• English (en)
  
• Spanish (es)
  
• German (de) (Thanks Dario!)
  
• Dutch (nl) (Thanks Bor!)
  
• French (fr) (Thanks biglittledragoon!)
  
• Polish (pl) (Thanks Fire Crow!)
  
• Swedish (sv) (Thanks Peter Pilnäs)

If someone wants his language supported, can modify the languages.plist file to add their strings (or you can send it to me, and I'll update the script)

The traditional method (%_countdown) looks for the system language as default; the %_cdlang accept any language.

Examples:
