Hey,

There are some annoying errors in the shipped pt\_BR rails.mo and I’m  
trying to write my own.

Makemo writes my own rails.mo to my locale/pt\_BR dir but there’s no way  
it overrides the original rails.mo, not even with init\_gettext “rails”  
in application.rb.

Any clues?

btw. I can provide whoever does the pt\_BR translation with the language  
errors or maybe become the keeper of the pt\_BR translation. I use  
Gettext in all my Rails projects, anyhow.

Tks,

Fabio.
