Thank You, Simos and Behdad,

I've done your experiment... and it's really not my problem, I've 
putted  into gnome-panel.po and gnome-panel.HEAD.pot the same "System" 
string and
after merge, no lost messages :) great!

But I have another question, I've translated (-- Programms -- Places --  
System --) mouse rollover suggestions, like "Browse and run installed 
applications"
"Access documents, folders and network places"  but the don't appear 
even after X restart :/

the file is located in 
http://svn.inet.ge/svn/ka_GE/gnome-panel/head/gnome-panel.po...I can't 
really understand where is the problem.

Thank you again!


P.S to see our georgian language you must install "sudo apt-get install 
ttf-bpg-georgian-fonts" (If you use Ubuntu Dapper or Debian Unstable) 
this FIRST GPL font's in a georgian history, packaged by Matthew Garrett 
(Thank you for all pal!).
