Re: editing the .mo files

Hi Thorsten,

I must be missing something...

I'd like to modify the Hungarian user interface strings of
Sylpheed-claws under Windows. I only have .mo files for each language
under the.../locale folder.

I have installed poEdit (under Windows), and it does say it can get
strings out of.mo files, but I cant't seem to get it to work.

I set up the translation memory, poEdit has duly created .db files
with the strings in them, but it only offers the option of opening a
.po file, of which I have none.

What am I doing wrong?
