The previous translator, Markus Hahn, did not quite finish and has

updated the translation lately, so there is work to be done on that.
The "official" reference for translation of gretl is
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=gretl
I'm not quite sure what the procedure is for switching from one
translator to another. Another possibility is this: join up as a
member of sourceforge.net, and I can then give you translator access
to gretl CVS. Then you can update gretl's "de.po" file directly.
I agree that the direct update seems easier, at least I did not find the
info on the iro website totally intuitive. Also, I already have a
sourceforge login, named "svetosch". It would be helpful if you could
point me to some tutorial/explanations of the relevant file format, as
it's going to be my first time playing with "po" files.
Is Markus reading the list, or is there some way to contact him? that
would help the transition, I guess.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I think this should be quite easy to
add as a built-in gretl command (if you have suggestions regarding the
user interface for that, please say). In the meantime, here's a
reworking of your Gini script as a gretl "user-defined function",
which makes it a little more flexible.
Re the interface: near the frequency distribution item, I'd say. And
thanks much for your work on the function!
Seasonal dummies can be added via check-box in the case of
VARs/VECMs
in gretl 1.5.0 (provided the data are recognized as seasonal). As for
the ADF test, that's a possibility. But I wonder what that would do
to the distribution of the test statistic?
Ah, I was too quick re the VAR, right. Concerning the distribution: As
Jack already wrote there is no problem. (Otherwise you would also have a
problem in Johansen, since that is a generalized Dickey-Fuller
distribution.)
Btw, in the earlier mail I forgot to mention that the example datasets
that come with gretl are really great for teaching!
