 From the error above, I am going to assume that you are using the  
Python shipped with the Chandler release.
This Python is a stripped down version and thus does not contain all  
the libraries needed for translation.

In order to generate a translation egg the SVN build of Chandler is  
required.

A link to SVN Chandler build instructions is included on the  
LocalizationProject wiki page:

http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/LocalizationProject

With the Chandler SVN version, the egg should build with no issues  
using the command:

 > C:\template>c:\chandler\release\runpython c:\chandler\tools 
\createTranslationEgg.py -c -l de

I am not sure I understand how this string would be plural in German.  
Can you explain further.

When you say another shortcut I assume you mean "Ctrl+Q". There is a  
delineation in our current code base
between the  mnemonic accelerator "&Q" and the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl 
+Q" so it is necessary.

We do not currently have a SUSE release, but it is certainly  
something the team will keep in mind for
the future. Especially as we get more German users.

Have you experienced an issue installing and running Chandler 0.7.3  
on W2K?

If you require a printable copy of the localization process, I  
suggest printing the Localization Project Wiki page.
