By the way: You can add manual comments also, e.g. why you translated something the way you did. > (I would hate to have to update the file every time a backend > changes.) You don't need to do that. The Makefile isn't smart enough to find out if a word that should be translated is really changed by a backend change. So just don't commit changes to the po files if they are only concerning the automatic comments. Bye, Henning
