Thanks, Yavor, that's a different file from the one to which I have  
to add my language when an application is first translated.

Yes, I missed that. Usually, I just input the name of our group and  
the email address, since the year is always in the header.

I've only translated it in one year so far. Do I need to input it twice?

I don't run Gnome (Mac OSX), so I can't test my translations. My team- 
leader gives me feedback, when he has time, as do users.

It would certainly help if I could make sure the build would work, so  
they could test it. But I don't want to compile builds on my system  
which I won't use. I don't have the room. And, although I can build  
packages when it's really necessary, it's a difficult task for me  
nowadays, so I avoid it whenever possible, as I have very limited  
concentration, and want to use it as effectively as possible.

This probably doesn't make me the optimal translator, but,  
unfortunately, I'm the only active Vietnamese translator, so my best  
is all we have.
