To edit a .mo file you first need to have the .po version of it.
Then you can edit it with POEDIT

If you don't have any of those things, first get POEDIT
http://www.poedit.net/download.php

If you only have a .mo file and not the .po but wish to add/edit the translations, you can "decompile" or reverse the .mo file into a .po file from the command line with poedit , ie.

START -> RUN
/program files/poedit/bin/msgunfmt ab_AB.mo > ab_AB.po

Thank you, so much !

I'm updating the italian version of the language file,
i found several mistakes and missing translations in that file.

Would you like to have a copy of file with the right words ?

The svn looks badly out of date for Italian

so you if you want to link your results here and state which version it is for we'll see if Sam or Michael can update the SVN...
