Did you officially get the permission from the copyright owners of the 
logo before working on a derivative of it? If not, please let them know 
as soon as possible and do not publish or share the modified logo until 
they approve you. Else, you will get caught in a copyright infringement 
deep shit, especially because you are dealing with a MS owned logo.

Applications do not directly read from .po files. They also need to be 
compiled to .mo file and then to a .pot file, after which the 
application might be able to use them. Check out the KTurtle web site on 
any information about localization of the application. Am sure there 
should be pointers. You can also contact the package maintainer in 
Ubuntu for that app.

May be Kartik Mistry can spell more light on the process if he is still 
listening to these list mails ;)
