cd po ; make update-po

copy the <name>.pot file to <lang>_<COUNTRY>.po and edit it

make <lang>_<COUNTRY>.gmo	# for a single file

add the language to po/LINGUAS (and configure.in:ALL_LINGUAS if needed)
and rerun configure to add new languages to the Makefile

if you want to test it without installation

	replace PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR by your build directory
	do e.g. (in this dir)
	"mkdir de_DE ; cd de_DE ; ln -s . LC_MESSAGES ; 
		ln -s ../po/de_DE.gmo <programname>.mo"

- old glade-- versions (up to 2.0.0) need the following modifications
	to the main file:
	
	#include <config.h>
	...
	bind_textdomain_codeset(GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8");
