Hi again. Thanks for clarification. I' m uploading problematic po
files to a file sharing site. All of them checked for errors via
"msgfmt -vco /dev/null
tr.po" command against pot files. I get zero errors but tx rejecting
them. Except one po file, userdrake. I can upload userdrake.po file
but tx shows all strings are untranslated. Here is the list of them:
drakx-kbd-mouse
drakx-net
drakx_share
drakx_standalone
userdrake

Thanks for help. Also i'm happy to announce that we' re reorginizing
and soon start to translate also blog, announcements pages too...
