Translation does not work

[Frank Indenk�mpen]

persisting problem - it never worked for me (version independent)
 
Here is what I am doing:
Adding new translation  --- works.
Manual translation (i.e. editing .po file) 
create messages ... --- works
make --- works --- .gmo is up to date

running program --- result: no translation

BTW: Any other KDE program I use shows up translated.

Any idea?

Thanks 
Frank
