Hi folks,

 I'd like to do a release of my application with translations included.
When I ran the svn2dist script, I used the following options:

svn2dist --i18n-module kdereview -v 0.2.3 -l -m -b 
-g /home/kombrisn/Project/kdereview/ ksynaptics

Now it should try to download the i18n from svn but it fails.
The log shows why that is:

..... and so on...
--------------------------

In fact, there are a lot of translations, but all the files are called 
"kcmksynaptics.po".
I found no option to pass a distinct file name for .po files so I tweaked the 
script and got the kcmksynaptics.po downloaded and installed.
Unfortunately when running the application the translations don't take effect 
anyway.

Here are my questions:

*why did the translators choose a file name that differs from my application's 
name which could be found automatically by the svn2dist script?
*what is the proper way to get the translations included into my distribution?
*is there an easy way to test translations?

Thank you very much, this is a very important question for me :)

  greetings,
 Stefan >8^)
