-po files in underlay
---------------------
-
-I think this plugin doesn't yet allow po files to be present in an
-underlay to translate files also from the underlay.
-
-In `istranslatablefile`, it specifically checks that
-the file is present in srcdir. 
-
-Problem with this is that it precludes using po to translate
-the basewiki (work which is well under way for Danish BTW),
-since the translated po files cannot really be used.
-
-A further problem comes if one wants to use a non-English language as the
-`po_master_language`. It would be good to get a translated
-basewiki, taking po files from the underlay and using them as the primary
-page sources, but this plugin doesn't yet support that. 
-
-And, maybe it shouldn't? A user would not expect to see a po file when
-editing the index page of their wiki, just because they're using a
-different language. Instead, we might want to build localized .mdwn files
-for the basewiki, and then ikiwiki would just use that translated underlay.
-The when the user edits index, they get a nice mdwn file to start from.
-
-So, we seem to have two cases, in one po files from the underlay should be
-used, in the other not. Hmm. Support both?

+Bug when editing underlay file
+------------------------------
+
+While I've gotten translated underlays working, there is a bug
+if the wiki is currently using a page from the underlay, and the master
+language version is edited. This causes the edited page to be saved
+to srcdir.. and all the translations get set to 0% and their
+po files have the translated strings "emptied". What's really going on
+is that these are entirely new po files not based on the old ones
+in the basewiki, and thus lacking translations. --[[Joey]]
