I installed python-demo from a suse package, but "make po" failed saying that pygettext could not be found, so I copied pygettext.py to the driconf directory and edited the Makefile so that "python pygettext.py" were called instead of only "pygettext". > BTW, do you use any special tool for editing .po files?

It would be more natural with a passive form: "Se han creado nuevos archivos de configuraci�n de DRI por usted". or "Se han creado por usted nuevos archivos de configuraci�n de DRI". > The last one is more out of curiosity: You used "usted" when addressing > the user, which is used very much in South America among strangers. > AFAIK in Spain "t�" is more widely used, though I don't know which is > the usual form in user interfaces.

Kids use it to talk to adults, and people use it when talking to somebody who had never meet before, etc. In South America it is used way more often. However, it is the form that user interfaces use. KDE uses it all the time.
