Do you use the CVS version? There have been quite a lot of corrections
to the english text. If you want to test, you should check out the 0.6.0
branch since the current version does not run at the moment.

cvs -d ':pserver:address@hidden:/var/lib/cvs' \
   co -r pingus_0_6 Games/Pingus

Those are handled by gettext and located in the po subdir. You've got to
copy pingus.pot to se.po and "Esperanto Code".po and insert the
translations there. If you also do expand ALL_LINGUAS in configure.ac
and rerun autogen.sh/configure they will be included into the build
process of Pingus. Once made known you may simply edit the xx.po file
and run make update-po in po/.
If you want to test your translations, you've got to install Pingus and
run the installed binary, not the one in /src.
