Hi, Sayamindu

Since blocker http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6221 (python-Levenshtein
installation) had been fixed,
could you please try again to merge etoys.pot to each language PO?

(some language community achieved almost 100% translated for old PO
(!) , and want to translate missing strings in current PO because of
failed merge of newer POT)

Thanks in advance.
