Re: [Nano-devel] New language for Nano Editor

Hi Benno

thank you for answering and all the explanations. Please see below. I
cloned git and there is no pt.po. That's why I did msginit. I had no
intention of overiding anyone.

I would be glad to do so, but I can't find the pt.po file on the git

but gives me a 404 error.

Could you please supply his email? Sorry for troubling!

Best regards,
Pedro
