Strange, I don't usually give misleading advice, I'm sorry about this.
I think you must have asked me while we were working in trunk, so the
info was valid at the time.  I know there was a rationalisation of the
master translation done by I think Dmitry, the changeset is here:

http://trac.seagullproject.org/changeset/1774

He basically removed the auto-translated keys and re-created the list by
hand, with comments, with a view to improving organisation.  I believe
part of the work removed duplicates, etc.

It is possible, that changeset has all the info, and if you look at the
date, the mod happened *after* our convo, when development had moved to
the bugfix branch.

I totally understand, apologies for the confusion. most of the patch
contributors hang out on #seagull where they are quickly informed what
and where the latest code is, so that might be one way of checking.

just to reiterate, 0.6-bugfix is the latest code and the stuff in trunk,
at the time of writing, is very out of date.

cheers

Demian
