Re: plone4: how to override translations in plone.app.locales?

Thanks!

Which should one use - a policy or a translation package? Can you
point to some information on policies?

I managed to make a working translation package with your
instructions- however the automatic compilation of .po files that you
mention is missing or turned off by default (plone4 rc1 from mac
unified installer) - maybe there is a buildout switch to turn it on,
or something?

Thanks again,

 Petri
