Then Assuming I'm correct...
using SVN files
The change would take place in the g10/mainproc.c
because in the SVN files there is no gnupg.pot file

g10/mainproc.c:1681 g10/mainproc.c:1729
c-format
msgid "Good signature from \"%s\""
msgstr ""

because in the SVN files there is no gnupg.pot file

I can only guess that there would be some translation problems
should I try to compile a version other than "en"
would this be correct?
