Hello Jason!
I created the .mo files from source as you suggested. When I look
through them (via 'less'), I can see the umlaute that I was talking
about. But then again, 'slapt-get --help' will yield these question
marks. This might just be an issue with my setup: For comparison, I
tried out the swedish translation (which contains special characters as
well), using 'LANG=sv_SE slapt-get --help' and special characters were
replaced as well by a question mark.
Is this just with my setup? Can anybody else confirm this?
Regards,
Niklas.
