How to translate user made campaings
I've found no documentation in the wiki about this so I thought I'd just ask instead of figuring out how to do it myself. I won't start until I've played through the whole campaign anyway, so I've got time to wait for an answer here.

The usual way to do what that seems to do is

Having translated a campaign, I now do know that it's really data/campaigns. Using @campaigns doesn't work, everything else you need to know is written in the pokit-README except for
make [WMLXGETTEXT=...] update-po
as the command to make .po files reflect changes in the campaign and generate a new .pot.
make [WMLXGETTEXT=...] update-po

As a little tip to campaign creators using windows - even though you can't use pokit unless you install cygwin, you don't have to miss translations. Just contact a Linux/OS X user who can do it for you. If you don't know/find someone else, contact me. I see no problems in generating the pot, .po and later .mo files for you, I just won't make translations into any language beside german (and I choose which campaigns to translate all by myself ).
