But this is how gettext works, it create a 'po' file with  all tranlatable
file, now
if you add a new modpack (and of coure use my patch :) all old translations
will
be transalted, to translate new ones, you have to mark as translatables in
the
ruleset file, translate it and regenerate the gmo file.
