Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm using whatever Precise is shipping by default, and by looking at the
UI, I'd say it's Qt-based.

Looking at the code, I understand why it's happening: the
'qt/checkbox-qt.ui' is missing from the po/POTFILES.in file.

So if we're going to be shipping the Qt-based UI, we should:

- Remove the '[type: gettext/glade] gtk/checkbox-gtk.ui' line, so that
translators don't waste efforts translating a UI we're not shipping
- Add a line for the qt/checkbox-qt.ui file (*), so that intltool picks
it up, extracts its strings, puts them in the .pot file and they can be
updated in Launchpad.

Yeah, it seems existing translations from .py files are indeed loaded,
but none of the Qt ones are.

Cheers,
David.

(*) Having played a bit with it, I'm not too sure how to best add
qt/checkbox-qt.ui to po/POTFILES.in, as intltool does not seem to
support Qt .ui files. I'm sure I've seen a workaround somewhere, perhaps
marking it as a generic XML file, but after a quick test with
'intltool-update -p -g checkbox', it didn't seem to extract the strings
from the file.
