 * Why is spacing in translated in-scenario choices messed up?
  * Because of commas, they have special meaning in menu items.  Prefix each 
comma in item translations with two
 backslashes, and also see http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3069
+* How do I quickly test PO file changes?
+ * When you modify a PO file, run "make update-gmo" in the main po directory 
to create a new MO file, then run "make
+install" there to install the new MO file.
+ * Then force cache rebuild. This is tricky -- if you only update MO files, 
the game may use a cached (i.e., old)
+version letting you wonder why it still displays the old translation. Either 
change game.cfg modification time, e.g.
+with "touch /usr/local/share/wesnoth/game.cfg", or delete the corresponding 
cache[s] in ~/.wesnoth/cache.
