I tried with Poser 7's standard scene lighting, which has 3 "global" lights, of
which 2 are above ground.

In addition, for light sources below the ground I'd expect PoseRay to still
import them, and that they'd just not work properly in POV-Ray in case I use a
ground plane.

Did.

I don't think this is a problem with the German version: In Poser, it seems that
i18n is done by some wrapper that just replaces certain keywords or keyphrases
(including item or category names in the library and such). An approach I
actually don't like at all, but it ensures compatibility on every level except
the UI wording.
