[bt-devel] Tooltip text location in source files

Good, agreed.

KBabel handles both .ts and .po files, and we will need both, because handbook 
and howto are still po and likely will have to remain so. We could mention 
Linguist as addition for those who only want to translate the GUI. For 
website, handbook and howto people will need to use KBabel or something else 
that speaks po.
Send your additions to the website to Joachim please.

Sure, good.
