Hello,

The kstars.pot file is a bit of a mess right now.  We recently added all of 
the place names in our cities database, which added literally thousands of 
strings to the template file.  

The problem is, any given language is only going to be interested in a small 
subset of these strings, and they appear to be scattered throughout 
kstars.pot, which is probably going to make it much more difficult to find 
the more-important GUI strings.

We would like to organize this by having separate POT files.  kstars.pot would 
contain only the top-priority "universal" GUI strings that all languages will 
want to translate.  We would then have a series of files, such as 
kstars-cities-de.pot, kstars-cities-es,pot, etc.  containing the city/country 
strings, separated into language groups.  This would make it *much* easier 
for teams to find the city name strings they are most likely to want to 
translate, and ignore all the others.

Is such a thing possible? 

thanks,
Jason
