Cool.

Right.

I should also point out that there is a
<gpe>/base/build/Makefile.translation file that can be pulled into
the app's po Makefile with an

include ../build/Makefile.translation

just like "include ../build/Makefile.dpkg_ipkg" for the dpkg and
ipkg make targets (not all apps use that yet though).

That should make extra translation packages for your app that are
called something like "gpe-calendar-es.ipk" (a control file for that
is in <gpe>/base/build/familiar/control.translation).

A yet to be created future version if ipkg would then allow you to
just install a locale-base-<language> package which then pulls all
such language packages for all apps you have installed.

In theory. :)

If you have questions about this process, ideally drop by in #gpe on
irc.openprojects.net.

Cheers,
