<p>The <code>.po</code> files are generated files, the messages are created from the code (and a few other places) mechanically.  Editing the message strings of the <code>.po</code> file will just get overwritten.</p>

<p>As the comment above says it comes from <code>geany.glade.h</code> which is itself a generated file from <code>geany.glade</code> which is edited by the glade UI editor.  So thats where it has to be edited.  Note that as stated in the <code>HACKING</code> file you have to use Glade 3.8.5.</p>
