[i18n] Changes to .po files not showing in interface

[Oleg Hanins]

Hello and thank you for your reply.

I followed you advice and used horde-translation script. 
But another thing came up.

My default language is english.
If I change language select on login form
I get redirected to horde/login.php?new_lang=ru_RU
And in this case everything works and all my translateted files work

But if I put username or password and change the language after I am not redirected to horde/login.php?new_lang=ru_RU I still have in the url bar previous language.

I have checked it with FireFox and Chrome.

This is not recommended.

Chances are that the .po files are out of date. In that case you can modify whatever you want, if the strings are no longer used, translating them is useless.

You should merge the existing .po files with the latest .pot files first. The easiest way to deal with the translations is to use the 'horde-translation' tool which should be installed along with horde.  
Use 'horde-translation merge' to do the above mentioned merge, edit the .po files that are now updated and then use 'horde-translation make' to build the new .mo files.
