Translations updated to P5

I have updated the following Translations to TEI P5:

All Russian translations
All German translations
Portuguese translation
Spanish translation, Poemas

These items are now available in P5 on the Walt Whitman Archive, and
their display has been made consistent with other Translations
materials.

I have also updated the Vasseur available for download on the Downloads page.

Critical materials related to these documents remain in TEI P4 and
will be updated at a later stage.

Correction made to date in letter from Mary Van Nostrand to Walt Whitman

The correspondence index listed the date for a letter from Mary Van Nostrand to Walt Whitman as March 16, 1878, while the letter itself listed March 16, 1875.  Though a date is not listed on the letter in the author's hand, the letter is dated March 16, 1878, in volume 7 of the Correspondence (Iowa City, IA: University of Iowa Press, 2004, p. 145).  I have adjusted the date accordingly.
