Thanks for translating, Dani.

I guess I will give it a try next time.

It would be better if one could translate the backtrace using simple
Lisp or even interactively from Emacs, perhaps configuring a location
variable or two.  The default for the runemacs.exe location could
be the location for the current session's Emacs - that will often be
the same.  And the default for the dir of emacs_backtrace.txt could
be the current dir, since one will often file a bug report from that
directory (inserting the file with `C-x i' etc.).
