Re: Adding a new language in Abiword source code

Hi Dominique,
Nice to hear that you are working on a new translation for AbiWord. I
guess your questions are addressed in [1]. Once you verified that the
translation is working fine, you can make a zip of the po file and
send it to the list, so that we can include it into the trunk. Pls let
us know if you need any further assistance in this.

Thank you.
