Nice. Feel free to send me your es.po and I'll merge it.

Do I understand correctly that you want to translate a few
terms which do not show up for translation in the es.po file ?

The .pot file is generated from source from the script
.../gnumed/client/po/create-gnumed_po.sh and its purpose is
to contain all strings marked for translation within the
current source code state. That file is then merged with the
existing LANGUAGE.po files which contain per-language
translations. That way a new LANGUAGE.po file is created per
language containing new and already-translated strings.

In other words, if the string you want to translate is not
contained within the generated .pot file then that string
has not been marked for translation in the source code. Tell
me which and I'll mark up that string.

Manually adding a string to the .pot, merging that into
es.po, and translating that string will still not make
GNUmed show the translation because it doesn't know that is
supposed to be translated (for which the string needs to be
marked inside the source code like so: _('string to translate').

Yes, that should work. Also, the log is your friend as it
tells you where GNUmed looks for translations ... ;-)
