I also compiled gtranslator from svn. It all went well except for a
dependecy on "libsasl" which is not checked for in the configure
script.

The only thing that puzzles me a bit is that after starting
gtranslator (without arguments) I only see a gray window without menus
or any contents at all. What I can do, though, is to drag and drop a
PO file to this window. Then the file is loaded and I can see the UI,
but still there is no menu bar. Is this supposed to be like that?

Antonio, I think if you announce your PPA package on the gnome-i18n
list [1] there might be a number of translators who would test it.

Regards,
David.
