They can indeed, no difference/

You just need to list the glade files in po/POTFILES.in

I might help too, as I have already done that. It should not take so
long.

> I am a project leader of a translation project on two languages (Macedonian and Albanian) in my country (Republic of Macedonia). The purpose of this project that my company is working on is for Ministry of Education and Science for implementing FLOSS in schools in Macedonia. Firstly I have to prepare files of Ghemical 2.10 to give to translators. So far, I haven't seen any method to translate this application, except that the docs part are in html format. I gave these files to the translators and they already started to translate. After the translation and proof-reading on these two languages is over I will contact you about how these files will be submited to the community. But the main problem <http://gambasdoc.org/help/howto/translate> remains, the translation of the GUI part of the application. So I am asking for a help, to tell me how is this part of the project maintained.
