I'm sure that works fine for you, Alexandre. But for a start, I'm on
Windows. And I just want to _use_ a translation tool. For translating,
and then check the ongoing work, which requires a mo file. Not all
translators are necessarily hackers too.
Mind, I have a tool on Win that auto-compiles mo files when saving the
po file. But as I like the ui of gtranslator more for doing the actual
translation work, I would like that feature in gtranslator too. If I
didn't like gtranslator, I wouldn't even bother to write to the mailing
list. I just want the best of both worlds.
