A couple of things to note in current CVS and the current
Windows snapshot.
1) I have "rationalized" the syntax for the "restrict" command:
all coefficient arrays are now accessed using a 1-based index
(not 0-based).
2) I've added support for reading PcGive databases in the form
of in7/bn7 files. This is under the Databases item in the File
menu. I haven't seen a public specification of in7/bn7 format
so I've stuck to what I've been able to infer from examples.
That means that at present only annual, quarterly and monthly
data are supported. If anyone knows how, e.g. daily data are
handled in these files, please let me know.
Translators: The IRO robot seems to be "on holiday" -- at
least, I've had no response to my last submission of a gretl.pot
file. The current .pot (last updated 2006/08/03) is available
at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl.pot
I'm happy to accept .po updates via CVS or via email.

Just committed the new de.po version, almost finished.
However, some new translation questions:
1) "Remove extra observations"
Is that to balance a panel, or what else?
2) /Data/_Matrix... ??
can't find it in the 8/19 snapshot
3) "/Save/_Predicted error variance"
That's an old one, but is it actually about the forecast error variance
or really a variance that's predicted (like in ARCH maybe)?
4) %s/By %s ??
I think I may have asked this already once, but what's the context again?
5) "Configure"
??
6) "Please find the gretl script %s attached."
Maybe some duplication of this string (also with 'file' instead)?
In general it would be nice if you could post another snapshot before
releasing 1.6.0; Apart from the sheer number of things I made some
changes where I'm not sure they work.
Thanks,

It's for the case where extra 'dummy' observations have been
added to a data set for the purpose of forecasting out of
sample, using an autoregressive model.
2) /Data/_Matrix... ??

It's ifdef'd out of the actual source at present, as being not
ready yet (it relates to a planned GUI mechanism for defining
matrices). Unfortunately gettext doesn't grok the C
pre-processor so the string still comes through, but you can
ignore it.
3) "/Save/_Predicted error variance"
That's an old one, but is it actually about the forecast error variance
or really a variance that's predicted (like in ARCH maybe)?
The latter -- it's about saving the fitted value of the error
variance from a GARCH model.
4) %s/By %s ??
I think I may have asked this already once, but what's the
context again?
Graphing using a dummy variable to separate the values:
"/Graphs/Separation/By XXX"
5) "Configure"
??
It's the label on a button in the model selection dialog. If
you check the "robust standard errors" box, the "Configure"
button next to that option becomes active, enabling you to chose
the specific HC/HAC variant.
6) "Please find the gretl script %s attached."

OK, I see what you mean; I'll see about deleting one of the
variants.
In general it would be nice if you could post another snapshot
before releasing 1.6.0...
OK, I'll do that shortly. I'll also update the .pot file again
in CVS; I've made a few trivial changes relating to moving the
selector for the random seed.

Hi all,
I am pleased to announce that the gretl's Portuguese translation is
completed (only software, not the Help).
I did not send the .po files to Allin before, because I am still waiting
from comments of the Beta version of the translation.
There is a forum dedicated to the translation and usage of the
Portuguese version of gretl in this address:
http://gretlpt.mybbland.com. The .mo files and instructions on how to
configure them are available there (only in Portuguese).

Allin,
During the translation I detected some errors and omissions from the
source code.
One of them is very notorious (for us who recently had our hands on :)
), and is the missing legends for the *, **, *** that refer to the
quality of p-values. Those strings should appear after the listings of
results when they are so marked.
There are more errors, but unfortunately I did not take notes, and now I
am on break for this project :(.
Thank you,
Hélio Guilherme

Sounds good -- let me know when the translation is ready to
include.

We'll see about adding those.
