Hi,
First of all, many thanks for taking care of the cwidget translations!

Well, translating that Yes/No widget is really the point of the
translation, since other cwidget messages are hardly ever seen by any
user.
The upstream build system installs the message catalogs under the name
cwidget.mo, which is bad. Have you looked what it would take to install
them under a better name (say, libcwidget3.mo) in order to make room for
a later libcwidget4 package?
Cheers,
Sven
