[MonoDevelop] German translation

[Antonio Ognio]

I've been fixing some things in the Spanish translation
working directly on the es.po file (no touching of gmo
is need afaik)

Once you're done if you just need to do minor adjustments
you can simple do this:

msgfmt -o monodevelop.mo <YOUR LOCALE>.po

You get the monodevelop.mo file you need to replace on top
of the one found at /usr/share/locale/<YOUR LOCALE>/LC_MESSAGES/  

and then restart monodevelop.

You should see the changes in action without recompiling
anything.

Also if you're a translation mantainer and new messages
get internationalized resulting in a new mondevelop.pot
file you can merge this new file with you current work with

msgmerge <YOUR LOCALE>.po monodevelop.pot

Hope this is usefull,

Antonio.
