Dear All,

We are working on gnucash translation to Nepali and we are not been able to
get the translated strings in nepali and we are glad that now it is being
ported to Gnome2/gtk+

Could we get the latest build with UTF-8 support so that we can start
checking our translation.

Thanks in advance

How can we contribute coz we are not developers and don't have knowledge of
C programming.

regards,
pawan
