Bottom-posting (as i am doing now, replying below the original
message) is preferred on the xfce mailing-lists.

Send the files in an archive, or send in a complete patch.

4.2 is frozen... please checkout 4.4 and start translating there.
after that you can continue with the trunk of other projects like
thunar and the goodies.

For help with svn and i18n, check the howto's on i18n.xfce.org

Thank you, and i hope this helps :-)
