I sent this in reply, but every time I do so, it bounces your
menthos gnome org e-mail.

You can send them to me, or someone else with CVS account willing to commit
the files for you. Just make sure the po files are encoded in
UTF-8 and that they pass the msgfmt ("msgfmt -cv ang.po") test without
errors or warnings. The msgfmt commandline tool is part of the gettext
software suite available on almost any Linux or Unix system. A recent
version of gettext is preferrable though.

Also please gzip the files if you send them by mail, since mail software can
do bad things to the encoding. Another option is to put the po files on a
web page somewhere and just send an URL in the mail, in which case there is
no need to gzip the files first.

PS: I noticed we still don't have an Old English component in our bug
tracker, Bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=l10n. I'll send
another request for details needed to add an Old English component to you.
Please reply to that as soon as possible. We require teams to have Bugzilla
components so that there is an easy way of reporting any bugs in
translations from within Bugzilla. DS.
