Some things I noticed: - The file was named 'conboy.pot' which is the name of the template. It should have been 'ar.po' instead. I also fixed that, though it makes me wonder what would have happened if transifex would already directly commit to SVN. It looks like it would have overwritten the template file. Surely something that should not happen. IŽll test this again once the direct SVN committing is in place.
