Hi Martin,

I'm the last one who should answer you, I changed distribution and I 
haven't had the courage to clone the fork on my computer yet, I'm afraid 
to make my usual messes (Christof and not only him, is a victim of my 
many questions), it's been a while since I do translations, anyway I do 
(used to do) this way:

I open the gambas ide and navigate to the gambas folder (the one cloned 
in the computer) inside the folder, depending on what I want to 
translate example the Gambas3 IDE I move to > app > src > gambas3 and 
use the Gambas translator which normally works fine, otherwise, if the 
translation doesn't convince me, I adjust the translation as needed.
On the other hand, if I need to translate a component, say gb.form I 
move to > comp > src > gb.form etc.

Where the translation is unnecessary like "Audio" which is the same in 
Italian, or "Desktop" which I don't use translate I put the hyphen (-).

Once all the translations are done I send them as instructed by the wiki.

The rest you wrote is not clear to me :-\

I add my own question: if once I give the command 'git clone 
git at gitlab.com:<my-user-name>/gambas.git' I do 'git pull upstream 
master' do I get the last master on my computer?
I don't have to do anything else?

I greet you amicably
