All, I am still to find a way to test desktop.mo in KDE2. I can see my translation for applications (like kcontrol, kedit,...), but the desktop.po translation is not appearing in my KDE start menu. It still shows English. I tried the following. * translated ta/messages/desktop.po * make install it wouldnt work. * from kde-i18n directory, did a make install it still doesnt work * did a 'make desktops' from kde-i18n * some errors appeared (tag does not fit...) * did 'make install' from kdebase, kdelibs, kdenetwork,... still it wouldnt work. Please, please, please. Somebody tell me where I am going wrong. Siva __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
