Hi Denis,

Yes I know and I'm currently discussing with Jiba, the upstream author, to find 
a way to change this. Currently the only way to find the real sense of all 
these shortcuts beginning with an underscore is to read the English or French 
PO file.

The short story is that Jiba is not very at ease with English and didn't want 
to have long erroneous English texts in his code. So he introduced shortcuts 
nearly everywhere (English can then be rewritten easily) and now it's 
complicated to revert shortcuts to normal text strings in his application. As 
we can provide him correct English texts, I'm trying to convince him to 
introduce in his code a translation dictionary for his shortcuts. We would then 
use the dictionary to produce PO files with pure English texts instead of the 
shortcuts.

If you find the will you can go on with shortcut translation, by comparing with 
the English/French version. If not, wait few days and see if we can have an 
easier PO file. I may decide to patch the code on my own to get rid of these 
drawbacks.

NB: I read the meaning of __fucking-arts__ and it's much more readable than you 
could think ;).

Cheers,
JM.
