Re: help regarding translated file

Hi Pawan,

You probably wanted to post this to gnome-i18n gnome org, instead of
gnome-doc-list, so I've changed the CC.

Those translations are kept in .desktop files, i.e. outside of .mo
files.  They are installed when you "make install" a package, so
you'll need to recompile from source, or wait until your distributor
includes your translation. 

The same will happen with many other files, such as .xml files
(eg. for locations in gweather), .schemas (as seen in gconf-editor),
etc.

Cheers,
Danilo
