It depends on what you want to do, though in most cases it is 
gnomemeeting.mo
If you are compiling from source or CVS, the Makefile will setup the 
names accordingly and place the files with
the correct names under the /usr/share/locale/ne/LC_MESSAGES/ (or 
/usr/local/share/locale/ne/LC_MESSAGES/ directory).
The same Makefile instructs the binary gnomemeeting of what to look to 
find the .mo file.
