    make sure abiword is closed before making any changes to the
    Abiword.Profile otherwise abiword will overwrite your changes on exit.
    this is expected.

    i think you are changing the wrong part of the Abiword.Profile

    Select indicates the currently selected profile, you need to change lower
    down

    something like this

            <Scheme
                    name="_custom_"
                    DocumentLocale="eo-EO"
                    MenuLabelSet="eo-EO"
                    ToolbarLabelSet="eo-EO"
                    AllowCustomToolbars="0"
                    ExtraBarVisible="1"
                    RulerVisible="0"
                    />

    I did warn you to read very very carefully, i bet you feel silly now (i
    know i did when it happened to me although i did manage to figure it out
    myself eventually)

    I keep trying to convince one of the developers that it would be useful to
    be able to change the Interface (GUI) language without having to edit
    Abiword.Profile but he does not think it is a good idea. (i should
    probably file an enhancement request and vote on it, unless i already
    have)

    if i understand your question the answer is if you submit the finished (or
    as close to finished as you can get) .strings file to the developers we
    will try and include it in the next release. you dont need to do a
    seperate translation for the linux version

    Im tired, goodnight, good luck with your translation work

    bye

    Sincerely
