I noticed a strange behaviour while using the albanian translation:
when
one wants to clear the Model table through the pop-up menu, the Table

the same reaction with the czech version. It seems as if the language
interface determines the way gretl works !?!?!?!
Ah, gretl was getting confused by the fact that in the Albanian
translation the msgstrs for "Clear" and "Delete" are the same:
"Fshij". I suppose the same thing was happening with the Czech
translation. This is now fixed in CVS.
I don't know if there's a linguistic distinction of this sort to
be made in Albanian, but in English "Delete" mean to get rid of an
object, while "Clear" means to empty it, remove its contents.
(I get this mixed up myself sometimes, on the rare occasions when
I use MS Windows: I delete the trashcan when I mean to empty it!)
