Please, could you open a bug with the changes you had to do with the .po
file you got from Rosetta? That way we can debug it and fix the problem.

About the quickguide, I don't understand it, but seems like I forgot to
add it :-? Sorry. It should appear today.

Well, as I said, all feature we have atm in Rosetta is only to handle
translations of applications, it should work with documentation, but
there could be problems. If you report any problems you detect we will
try to fix them so your life is easier.

I suppose we could implement a way to handle that with Rosetta, so you
can get a list of screenshots in english and you can see the ones that
are missing and in which languages. Don't count with it in the near
feature, but it's just a possible idea to do it easier to you.

As I said, fill the wish list page with all the requirements you have
and we will try to implement them as soon as possible.

Cheers.
