Fix the broken statistic generation The output of msgfmt has different format if no fuzzy translations (or even no translated) are available. I fixed that by parsing the output of msgfmt more intelligent. Drawback of the solution is that the parsing will not work if the output of msgfmt use not the strings "translated messages", "fuzzy translations" and "untranslated messages".

Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
Basically: Add your language code to the   ALL_LINGUAS=   line in configure.in,
then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.

To update a specific translation, one may use make update-po PO=[lang]  (ie. make update-po PO=fr).

To update all translation files, use make update-po.
You should only use it when needed (before a release or when there were many
changes in source code).



Helper scripts:

gen_translations_stats.sh	generate statistics about translations
regen_potfiles.sh		generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
