Hello Mr Ton!

Thanks for your great work of id_ID translation , we will officially release it in Cubi 1.2 as plan

Its recommend version, on some app's like Collaboration suite,
we have used Datetime::add() method to calculate weekly repeat task or events, 
which is only available on php5.3 or later
for pure cubi logic, we are not using it yet , just for compatible we suggested to use 5.3

i think your existing software should still works


Best regards!
