Hallo Andy, the links you posted a out of date!
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Translation is from 2012 and do mention under 7. Translations a Link to a document from 2009 with file lile tcl.pot, rs274.pot and axis.pot all the files do not exist any more, because someone merged all the translation in one monster file named linuxcnc.pot. Because this file is so large and many times you are not able to get the meaning of the message, I avoided it to begin to translate some stuff from that. IMHO it is the wrong way to merge all translations in one file, because you will not find anyone to translate 3500 lines of messages without comments of the meaning or the information to what part they belong! That is the reason, why I went a different way with gmoccapy and added my own translation files to /etc/po/gmoccapy, finding that way other people helping me with the translation. I am sure we will not be able to change that for the 2.6 release, but we should split off the monster linuxcnc.pot file to make clear where the translations belong to. I will go on with my GUI coding, so unfortunately I do not have spare time for translations.
