@Wightfall: Why don't you use PO edit so you don't brake things? Any reasons for not using PO Edit?
You can edit .po files in any editor you like. Just be aware of the following:
1. Do not edit the strings there are in most cases are at the left of the equal sign = and keep every single quote at its original position.
2. Only do this at your own risc and if you have worked with translations before. It actually isn't that hard if you have translated apps for Android or iOS. If you have, then you are good to go.
For me a good reason would be that I can work on the .po file if I use a notetaker when I am away from my desktop at my home...
Oh, one last thing that might be very important:
If you edit the file on a notetaker you MUST save it as UTF8 to make sure that all characters are shown correctly.
I don't know how you can make the .mo file, but I suppose you can open your file again in Poedit and then compile it from there.
Haven't tested this though.
And thank you so much, Manuel for explaning some goodies regarding PO-files along with the exelent documentation SLJ made in this topic. I can certainly use this awesome info in other projects, so thank you a milion.
Best regards Thomas
