Hi and thanks for the quick reply,

Tried already this:
notename|b -> h
notename|bb -> b
notename|bbb -> bb
notename|b# -> h#
notename|bx -> hx

Isn't this the way it is supposed to be if we want to get all the exceptions correctly? Only the 'Id tone' config window shows 'h' - the 'Id tone' Practise window as well as all the windows in 'Identify tone' show 'b'.

I believe you can get the notenames you want by translating the strings "notename|b" and similar in the .po file. Let me know if this is not good enough.
I hope you have read http://solfege.org/Solfege/TranslateSolfege

    Greetings from Finland,
    I am about to finish the Finnish translation and there is one quite
    important question concerning which I would hope to receive some
    guidance.
    In schools we use the German notename system in which notename 'b' is
    'h' (for the other exceptions check the bottom of the message).
    Translating the notenames to this system does not seem to work fully:
    For example Id tone config window shows 'h' but even in the same
    exercise the Practise window always uses 'b'.

    Most people I've played with speak about 'b' instead of 'h' so this
    would not be such a major problem for most rockers but since I have
    found Solfege potentially promising tool for the children beginning
    classical training at the conservatory, I would be prone to think that
    the more traditionally oriented teachers would greet the software and
    use it with even more enthusiasm if there was no notename mismatch
    between the software and their books. Thus getting the German system
    work would be recommended.

    The best possible solution would be that the user could set the
    notename
    system from the Preferences.

    I'm not totally new to Poedit, but while translating Solfege it seems
    not to have compiled the .mo -files correctly - some translations that
    are there on the .po-file need to be cleared and copy-pasted again to
    the same place (and saved immediately) to make them work in the
    .mo-file. Anyhow, this does not seem to be the problem with notenames
    since I've tried the same correction that works with other lines of
    translations several times and the conclusion is: other lines work
    when
    re-entered, notename lines work only partly (as mentioned in Id tone
    example).

    So... any help/guidelines would be much appreciated. If most
    people just
    want to kick out the German system for good I will accommodate
    with the
    opinion and go on with my life (slightly bitter though ;) but it is a
    point to consider first.

    Kind regards,
    Tuomas
