If you want to test this new plugin: launch # make ; make install in this directory then (to create the database) # source compile # cp scan ~/mytestdir # cd ~/mytestdir # ./scan file.po (I suggest to download and scan $LANG.messages) ok now you can launch kbabel, you should be in the same directory you launched "scan" from. # kbabel change kbabel settings to use "DB Search Engine II" or use CTRL+2 to search.
