cy_GB 
Welsh (Cymraeg)
United Kingdom

OK - I've found this now; thanks.  However, I was just translating the .po 
file directly using KBabel, so this additional functionality in Gambas 
doesn't really apply here.

OK - I did this by adding:
Name["cy"] = ("Welsh (United Kingdom)")
to Language.module, and then chose Project ->Compile all (which didn't seem to 
do much).  I then ran:
./reconf
./configure
make
(su) make install

However, I still get the message about internationalisation being disabled in 
the configure, and the only language showing is English, even though my 
machine is set to cy_GB.  Where are the language files normally installed 
after compilation?

Also, I've noticed that after this second compile, a number of new .pot files 
(eg FToolBox.pot) have appeared in gambas-0.80/app/gambas/.lang - do these 
have to be translated as well???

Thanks
