Sorry, I screwed up before and included the AbiWord link and not the
Gnash link.  I've downloaded the new POT from:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnash.git;a=tree;f=po

Wow, the POT has grown from :

8748 words in 1293 strings

to

17105 words in 2747 strings

That is a lot of catching up for the localzers.  I will refresh the
template and ping the localizers about it, but I can't make any
promises that you'll get 100% coverage in anything but en_US and
en-GB.

We'll get what we get.  Frankly, the PO is a little bloated with
obscure error messages, it would be nice to identify a core UI set
(like some of the Gnome reduced PO files that skip gconf schema
stuff).
