now i'm confused how poedit and gettext usage are joined (sorry i dont use poedit). can you describe the exact steps of your po-updates/remerges? where poedit comes in play and where gettext? >(A newer version of gettext is not yet > available for Windows, that's also the reason why changing the LyX menu > language doesn't work on Windows via the preferences menu.
