	Oh cool.  I will take a look at this and try to integrate it
into CVS.  Thank you for this.  I have been planning to do this for quite
sometime, but other things kept getting in the way.

	I am a total newbie when it comes to i18n, so I set the following
environment variables:

export LANG=en_US
export LANGUAGE=pt_BR

	That worked.  If I tried setting my LANG to pt_BR, the Portuguese
messages do not show up.  Is this normal behavior?

	I like the changes, so I'll put them into CVS, but I don't know
how long it will take, certainly before the next release. 

	Also, I noticed you created a seperate system-gschemrc for
Portuguese.  I think there is a way to put the menu item text into the
.po file(s) as well.  That way there will be only one system-gschemrc
and all the messages will go into the .po file.  (just checked; very
doable :-)

	Yes indeed.  Thanks! :)

	I will let the list know once I have gotten this integrated
into CVS.
