Thank you. My "svn switch" command was incomplete, so that some files 
were still associated with the v2_0_0 branch. I could repair it with 
"svn status" and "svn switch" commands.

I took a look at po/POTFILES.in, my German translation file (po/de.po) 
and I started gaim-text (Gaim with text mode interface).

My short testing showed me:

   1. gaim-text (console/* in source code) contains many new i18n
      strings (some hundred I think, but I did not count them)
   2. gaim-text does not initialize locale settings and gettext. So it's
      currently impossible to test translations.
   3. gaim-text does not look end-user-ready in the moment. For instance
      I did not found key mappings for switching between diffent dialogs
      in gaim-text

My question is: Should we include console/* now (in preparation of Gaim 
2.0.0Beta4) in po/POTFILES.in? I suggest: No, because the Gaim-text is 
probably not end-user-ready in the moment and i18n support is currently 
incomplete in gaim-text.
