data corruption: install does not import current nodes

hi

i'm impressed - your module works nearly out of the box - very well done - asside of suxxx i18n!

i installed your lovely module on a site that already exist... there are many pages and they are all created in german.

how can i import them in the localizer table and set them to german?

i'd like to explain the bug that comes up to me...

1. i click on the translation tab of an old german node/14 (as example)
2. translation tab tells me "no" german and english translation (asside, this is wrong - the node is german!)
3. then i click "create german translation"
4. the german text of the node/14 appears and i simply press save.
5. what happen? a node node/45 is created with my german translation of the german node/14 text
6. ok go forward... i create the english translation, press save and a node/46 is created.
7. now let's go back to the menu and review if everything is ok
8. nope, my old node/14 display my german text (ok), but translation tab says, there is NO translation done!!!

after some time i found out this is caused, while there is no import of existing nodes and i can possibly (not sure yet) prevent this by first edit all my nodes !???

1. administer > content > edit
2. set up the locate DE to all my old DE nodes and save the nodes (this will change the nodes date - i don't like do do this)
3. then translate to English with the node translation tab

be assured, this logic makes me totally confused and i think this should be documented very fast and an first time SQL import logic should be described. i don't like to do this import by editing all my nodes by hand. This will change all node dates and i'd like to prevent this.
