So if I understand correctly here, I'll just continue as the translation
howto says, and try to build the 1.8, then send the translation files in
a email as described, and it will be added to the 1.9 version?

This is what Derek Atkins wrote from one of the previous mails in this
thread:

"There's little point in translating 1.8 -- there wont be another
1.8 release.  You might want to wait until the 1.9.0 alpha release."

So this is then partially not correct?

I also asked here earlyer, is it possible for someone to send me a file
for the norwegian translation, and I'll then work with this one, and
then later on when I'll manage to build my own version ill start from
the begining again (with the rest of the translation?)
