I think that was the problem. It got "through" after 3 tries, and is now
awaiting moderation (it was "to big" by a factor of many... No suprise
there is a limit on how big the mails should be, but isn't this list
made for patches?)

Okay. You said "use cvs -z3 diff > mypatch.diff", so i did :) But should
that be "csv -u diff > mypatch.diff"? I am pretty new to this game, as
you probably have understood by now.

What do you mean? I did not remove any lines from my version, i just
entered some translation

What dou you mean? Are you referring to that we have two almost exactly
similar languages in Norway, bokmål (bookspeach, the conservative one
inherited from Denmark 75% of the population uses), and nynorsk
(new-Norwegian, the even more conservative one inherited "from the
vikings") (as a matter of fact, neither of them are very conservative -
they just pretend to be...), and there is (was) an ongoing "war" between
their supporters? As far as i know, they are separate languages, and
they usually has their own translations. Or are you speaking about
ISO-8115 (or whatever...) versus UTF-8? The file was in ISO, so i
continued to use the ISO charset.
