I've now converted the translation support to use Locale::Maketext
instead of Locale::Gettext and this should now give proper scoping to
language settings. Feel free to stress test the new code at
http://packages.debian.net/ and report any problems.
The .pot file don't have changed much during this transition.
BUT: Since Locale::Maketext doesn't have the same level of
encoding support as gettext now all .po files have to be in
UTF-8. I converted all existing files with iconv.
If that change is a problem for any translators, please contact me
so that we can work out a solution.
Gruesse,
