• - *It took me a while to understand why the gettext pot files translation functionality failed on recent Puppies. That's because they don't ship csplit (split a file into sections determined by context lines), present in Puppy Precise!
  
  - Puppy Tahr 6.0.5 has yad 0.12 version. Yad version 0.17 or greater is required for 2Pot help texts to be displayed.
  - Dpup Stretch identifies *.pot files as Microsoft presentation files. Now, the symbolic link "pot2po" allowing user to run "pottrans" from right click "Open with" menu is present in the main "Open with" directory.

If not: As attached file, a german translation of 2Pot using pottrans (mo and po files, to be checked!).

This complex and innovative project is a pleasure to run because its power is so easily used by novices (like me).

Hello,
The DeepL engine no longer seems to be working properly with Translation Shell.

Bonjour,
0.5.1 version available.
Please see the first post.
Many features that were no longer working were fixed: an update had become necessary...

Cordialement.
