Hello Gert,

this is the exact behaviour I have noticed. And you're right, it is 
quite easier to edit the locale table with the multiselection feature.
It looks like the form fields are put in a hash and something goes wrong 
along the way. Maybe there is a split() somewhere that splits the items 
containing commas.

Well, I might try a look into the code, although this is too much for me 
to be able to digest right now.

Best,

Miguel
