        I always do that, by running ./po/ui-backport.pl on the po I
        committed.

        OK. Does that mean the translation from HEAD is way behind (ie.
        similiar
        to STABLE at the moment?)

        I know. Will be fixed in the future.

        Then update the po :-)

        We will drop the .strings alltogether. The ONLY way to translate
        is by
        using .po files. The mailing list archives contain tons of
        reasons,
        which I'm not going to reiterate. In the future, the .strings
        files will
        be removed from CVS altogether.

        You can work with a .po file just fine from the console. I
        translated
        nl_NL completely using a remove console and vi.
        
        Thanks for the translation work,
