Re: program ignore some translation strings

hi all, 

i was asking one week ago about a problem with my translation files:

I received the proposal to add the ignored strigs to the gtk20.mo file.
I tried the following: 

i added this string to the following files, without any change of the 
symtoms: glib20.mo, gtk20.mo, gtk20-properties.mo, libbonobo-2.0.mo and of 
course to epiphany.mo 

after this, i was copying these files to
/usr/share/locale-langpack/am/LC_MESSAGES and to
/usr/share/locale/am/LC_MESSAGES/ 

nothing happens - there are still many strings in english. the translation 
of "_Open..." is still displayed in english.
i realy don't understand why.
i was checking all mo-files the program is using at runtime, i think the 
problem are not the files but perhaps a strange config of gnome? do you have 
any further ideas?
