Diffs via `diff -u` are ok.  There is a problem though: A number of
the strings in the source are of the form:

   "Article " NNTP_FMT_ARTNUM " is unavailable."

where NNTP_FMT_ARTNUM is a macro that expands to either "%ld" or
"%lld" when compiled.  From this, the compiler will produce one of the
two forms:

   "Article %ld is unavailable."
   "Article %lld is unavailable."

Unfortunately xgettext, which is used to generate the .po files from
the source does not understand this C convention causing such strings
to be omitted from the .po files.  A solution to the problem will have
to wait until after the release.  For this reason, I suggest that you
wait until this is resolved before updating the translations.

Thanks,
--John
