Re: Query on generation of mo files

[Paras pradhan <pradhanparas gmail com>]

hi,

For the 2 methods mentioned, i have to download  huge source files in
order to check the gettext name and will be terriblle in my poor
internet connection.

checking the gettext name is the only the way out?.

here i don't compile from sources... i use debain and do apt-get
install gnome-desktop-environmentm which is the very convinent for me.


just a thought:
i think the some one from the list from some country whose gnome 2,.10
or 2.12 can do a simple ls -al /usr/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/ and
paste in this email.

sorry if am acting silly.


Paras.
