In fact, the whole translation system has to be reorganized,
but I have not had time for that until now...

You have to load the scheme files *as* verbatim files in order to
edit them in TeXmacs. TeXmacs cannot import .po files; you have to
use Andrey's dictool for that.

In order to restrict a dictionnary A (a po file) to words which are also
defined in B (english-new), you should perform two diffs with Andrey's tool:
first between A and B -> C and next between A and C.

Andrey: it would be nice to add an option to downcase the first
letters of all words; this would make po files more useable.
