You can use msgfmt from the gettext package. msgfmt -cv km.po -o pidgin.mo Note whether it reports any errors and keep on fixing them until it doesn't complain anymore. Then copy pidgin.mo to the directory Mark mentioned which on my system would be /usr/share/km/LC_MESSAGES/ If you are working on Windows, things are much harder, but since you are doing Khmer, I assume you are not using Windows. When you rerun the program, it should automatically use the translation, as long as your system is set to Khmer. Keep well Friedel _______________________________________________ Translators mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators
