No problem. Meanwhile, somebody told me there is only one dependency from 
another glossary file to your file. So the problem is much smaller than I 
initially thought.

Gettext is a GNU package for software translation which is heavily used by KDE 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html).

All this is about translations (which, of course also need copies of the 
originals).

No doubt about this. In fact, the question was more directed to the person who 
does the split up + integration thing and I CC'ed you only to keep you 
informed. Sorry that I did not make this clear enough.

No need to bother. Thank you. ;-) 

(But, of course, it would be great, if you could provide us with a German 
translation. This is another story, however, which we should talk about in 
private mail I guess.)

Well, in this case it was obviously me who caused the confusion.
