Hi!

Here comes a preview of a pretty exciting version of KBabel. KBabel is a
powerfull, easy to use editor for localization files (GNU gettext, Qt 
Linguist).

There are substantial improvements in the code base (a support for GNU
gettext plural forms, validation plugins, a support for multiple file
formats, a CVS support etc). Therefore, we go for a beta first.

We would like to hear your opinions, comments etc. You can reach us
