Well I'm writing a Perl script to check for stuff like that. And there's 
already the script msgfmt, which actually helps pretty much. I also use 
ispell to check my mistakes.

So what I need to do is translate as much as possible for 2.1, and when 
it is complete, concentrate on TRUNK.

I know, I mean, I just downloaded 2.1 version from SVN, and did like this:

cd freeciv-2.1
./autogen.sh
cd po/ && make es.pox

And after editing my new es.pox, I just generate the diff like follows:

mv es.po es.po.orig
mv es.pox es.po
diff -u es.po.orig es.po > es_po.patch

And this should work without problems..

Is there any objection?
