[ubuntu-in] Localising Kturtle into Kannada in Ubuntu

[Pavanaja U B]

1. KannadaLogo is localised version of MSWLogo which is free (
http://www.softronix.com/logo.html). This has got nothing to do with
Microsoft. Only common thing is that it works on Microsoft Windows. The
Kannada version has already been listed in the Logo Tree -
http://www.elica.net/download/papers/LogoTreeProject.pdf

2. I did all those experiments with .mo and .pot files. I did all those
settings given in the relevant page of Kturtle -
http://edu.kde.org/kturtle/translator.php . It seems those steps are given
for KDE and not for Ubuntu.

Now I need the help for Ubuntu.
Thanks for responding quickly.

Regards,
Pavanaja
