No but i tried with -c now and then i get the translated string. But does they mean that all users have to manually figure out how to get a fresh configuration when changes are made to the translation?
Then if i switch between languages like if i want to test Geany in danish and afterwards in english it seems im going to see the same string in the status bar instead of different languages. I dont think i like that. The status bar string/language should change not stay the same.
I noticed this in preferences. Maybe not a good idea to have text that are meant to be translated be part of a preference like that which is keept when the software/translation are updates and language is changed.
