Hi

I have used KBabel and Lokalize previously too. I currently use gtranslator and 
download files for editing. The big advantage of all these tools is that if the 
string, or a very similar one, has been translated before (which is often the 
case), it pops up in the translation memory field and pressing a Ctrl key 
combination will copy it into the msgstr.

Thanks to all those who have commented.

Donald
