... and they often do not work with KBabel which has big problems with version 
conflicts. (Apart from very simple header conflicts it often just refuses to 
load them). I must admit that I usually don't have (or take) the time myself 
to go after such conflicts which already arise when I check out a file in the 
morning and commit it back in the early afternoon. I just copy my translation 
over and do so with the files others send to me. This is, of course, not 
ideal but it is the only thing I can do in the little time I have.
