Thanks, Hendrik. Yes, I am the team coordinator for Lao KDE. I created those mo files and put them in /usr/share/locale/lo/LC_MESSAGES/*mo. The files are there, but how do you tell the system, KDE, that there is kde-i18n-lo? Any particular file(s) I need to create or tweak? Thanks, Sak

At least my system doesn't know about a kde-i18n-lo package, so maybe you need to get the necessary files from http://i18n.kde.org/teams/index.php?a=i&t=lo first (looks like only for KDE-3.3 or later). The directory for the .mo files is NOT /usr/share/locale/lo/*.mo but /usr/share/locale/lo/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo HS -- Mein GPG-Key ist auf meiner Homepage verf�gbar: http://www.hendrik-sattler.de oder �ber pgp.net PingoS - Linux-User helfen Schulen: http://www.pingos.org
