Files that links (points) to other files instead of containing the
"real" file. (Also called "shortcuts"). A file "myImage.png.lnk" may for
example point to the real image file "myImage.png". The ".lnk" don't
show up in the browser, but they are there.

Some others with this or similar problem(s)?
Would be simpler to trace the problem if I know whether it is a Windows
or a Cygwin error. For now it looks to me as it is a Windows problem,
but I am not sure.

Thank you.
I'll give it a try. Perhaps I have to download the gettext manual too
;-) . At first I have to figure out the difference between the hard
links and sym links and how to handle them in Windows.
The summer is not the best time for working on the computer. Long days,
short nights. Time for outdoor living and to be a social creature.
I'm an optimist, so in parallel to working on the link problem I have
nearly finished my updated Norwegian translation. If my po files works
well in a Linux environment I could perhaps use my solution mentioned
above and send my po files + my image files to someone committing them
for me?

In fact is was fun, but resulted in a lot of extra reading as I am not
used to the "Linux way of thinking" and all the letters or words with -
and -- in front. Some not even logical abridgments. (As I had an exact
problem I dropped many of the tutorials and so forth. The hard way of
learning. Not recommended!).
Thank you for helping
