No. Text files are only sources. In the compilation, they comes a part of binary executable.

And we must get some standard tools to use etc. Well - my experience is, it does not a good job. All the programs I have been using in Slovak (including survex), were doing problems. I encountered problems with missing .po files (especially under Windows I had to set up environment variables) and missing or wrongly substituted characters. Well, in the future, we will certainly switch to .po files (we are forced to use them by WX in new model viewer), but now it would only slow down developement of more needed things. S.
