[MonoDevelop] German translation

[Viktor Stansvik]

Hi. I just created a swedish translation by:

1. Downloading the tarball

2. Entering the po/ directory and running 'intltool-update --pot'

3. 'cp monodevelop.pot sv_SE.po'

4. Adding translated strings to sv_SE.po

5. 'intltool-update sv_SE'

6. Converting sv_SE.po to utf-8 by running 
   'msgconv -t UTF-8 sv_SE.po > sv_SE.po.new && mv sv_SE.po.new
sv_SE.po'

7. Adding sv_SE to ALL_LINGUAS in configure.in

8. running ./configure and make (but not make install, I already have
   monodevelop installed from an ebuild)

9. Creating a .mo file by running msgfmt -cv sv_SE.po and copying it
   to /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/


After this I thought I could test the translation by entering the
build/bin/ directory and running MonoDevelop.exe from there, but I
seemed to be wrong.

What do I have to do to test my translation? I noticed that no .gmo file
was created during any of the steps described above, has it got
something to do with that?

Hope I provided enough info for you to help me.
