Hi,

For completeness sake.

Having copied kmymoney.po into /usr/share/locale/en_GB/ I then had to run:
msgfmt kmymoney.po -o LC_MESSAGES/kmymoney.mo
This is using the msgfmt that comes with Fedora 11 rather than the 
patched version needed for kmymoney2.

Is this worth documenting somewhere? (or is it already and I just missed 
it?)

Thanks again for your help,

Ian
