Fine for modifications ft_FR.po
But how to modify imp/locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/imp.mo ?
This file seems to be in a binary format.
Note : onmy modfying fr_FR.po does not replace the name of the folder.

Thanks. (note: strange because the 'sent' folder setup this is not in  
the same place where the others folders can be setup)
