So, it seems that cmake doesn't follow the LyX conventions even on posix systems (let alone on Windows). You should be able to *specify* a version suffix other than accepting a default one. When you use --with-version-suffix=-1.6, PACKAGE should be set to lyx-1.6, such that the user dir is ~/.lyx-1.6 and the translation files are named lyx-1.6.mo. > I _have_ different translations for lyx (trunk) and lyx16 (branch) So, your translations are named lyx.mo (trunk) and lyx16.mo (branch), but the user dir is always ~/.lyx ??? > So please tell me where I understand wrong. I don't know what cmake does, but something is wrong, apparently. -- Enrico
