translators
-----------
see this page for a howto:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/translator.html
Things like
msgid "/File/_Save Image As ..."
are menu items. You only need to translate the last part (following the final
"/"). The underscore character marks the accelerator (the underlined character
in the menu item). So you could put:
msgstr "Sevy i_mago os ..."
and it would display as "Sevy imago os ...", with the "m" underlined.
