Re: .mo file?

 If you get .mo out from poedit, I wonder if it would be one that works
with the existing freeciv installation. Of course there's always some
version mismatch when the freeciv installation and the .po -file have a bit
different strings, but that should not make it unusable. Especially just
now the .po files in files.freeciv.org are still those of 3.0.0 (I have not
refreshed them since). You might be able to replace de.mo from the
installation with your own de.mo.
