Hi!

Here comes the 2nd preview of the new version of KBabel. KBabel is a
powerfull, easy to use editor for localization files (GNU gettext, Qt
Linguist).

There are substantial improvements over KBabel 1.1 (a support for GNU gettext 
plural forms, validation plugins, a support for multiple file
formats, a CVS support etc). This version should be full-featured and if there 
are no showstopper bugs, we would like to release KBabel 1.2 in the near 
future.

We would like to hear your opinions, comments etc. You can reach us
at kbabel at mail.kde.org or you can use KDE bugzilla http://bugs.kde.org.

Homepage: http://i18n.kde.org/tools/kbabel
Download: ftp://i18n.kde.org/tools/kbabel/kbabel-1.2beta2.tar.bz2

Requirements:
- Qt version 3.1
- KDE libs version 3.1
- Berkeley Database IV is recommended

Enjoy!

The KBabel team
