Yes. However, development is slow currently, as I'm quite busy with my
job these days. The good thing is that my job also involves some use of
GNUe, so from time to time an improvement for GNUe results as a side
effect from my job :-)

Nevertheless, the development in GNUe over the last few months has been
focused on "what I need right now" rather than on a targetted feature
set for a new release, that's why there are quite some updates in bzr,
but no new release has been done.

We use the standard GNU gettext toolchain for translations. This means:

* Download the tools from bzr
* For each tool, go to the po subdirectory
* Copy *.pot to sv.po
* Fill in the translations

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. A GUI client for
what? How would it differ from the current gnue-forms?

Thanks,
