You're absolutely right, I mean dead right about this particular problem.
I translated Abiword to Yoruba and compiled it and everything went OK but
just
as I was preparing to upload my translated strings, menu and toolbar, I ran
Abiword via network and kaboom my translated version failed and did not
display proper since Abiword cannot find the translated files and fonts
needed.
To further confirm my surprise I copy Abiword to another machine and I got
the kaboom again; Abiword failed gracefully. Because of this I haven't
submitted my translated Yoruba files for commit because I will like to find
out why these happens and provide my findings to Abiword community. I am
still on these and its driving crazy
Best regards and God blesses!!!
