Hi Asgeir,
Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the info.
It seems as GTK Glade played a trick on me and localized the stuff without
me knowing/understanding that it was not gettext doing it's runtime magic,
sorry for the inconvenience.

There's an ugly import of xmlutils using relative path in there that
could be the issue. be sure to cd to the tmServers dir before
launching it. The TM is probably going to be a separate entity in the
future. At this time the TM is very basic and cant save or import TMX
yet but Fredrik Estreen is working on it.

Great!

I've actually announced it on the translate maillist first but thanks anyway.

It would definitely be intresting to cooperate.

We have been considering a name change from the start but we did not
want to be held up any longer for our lack of imagination (all the
obvious ones are taken). We thought about Transolution, Locomotion
etc. Please feel free to give your suggestions.

Thanks,
Fredrik
