OK, thanks. I now have some things up and running in Kinyarwanda.
However, there are still large parts coming up in English, even for
things which are apparently transated.

As an example, there's a submenu of the main KDE menu called "Toys".
Searching for this in l10n/templates, I found an entry in
kdebase/desktop_kdebase.po with msgid "msgid "Name=Toys". My
Kinyarwanda po file translates this accordingly with msgstr
"Name=Ibikinisho". There is no other instance of the word 'Toys' in any
of the other files in l10n/templates. But the actual menu itself still
says 'Toys'. Any ideas why that might be?

Cheers,
Steve.
