[Olpc-indonesia] OLPC Pilot project launches in West Papua

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi

My recollection is that po files are compiled to mo files

The quick fix is to hand edit the po file, compile a new mo file,  
create a zip file with the new mo, rename the zip to xo

A more lasting solution is to edit the Pootle server and then wait for  
the next OS release

There is a localization list that could give advice
