I had uploaded a new file :How_to_translate_GUI.sxw
It explains how to translate kicad GUI with poedit, and also (if wanted) 
how to modify kicad code to add a new entry in the language list selection.
The code does not really need changes. These changes are usefull when we 
want a new entry (usefull for testing purpose).
The default language option is: load the dictionnary corresponding to 
the linux or window country version.
So if you are currently working with a chinese version you need no 
changes ...
Note:
Texts in schematic or on a board still must be in basic ascii format 
(restricted to the 0x20 .. 0x7F ascii values for chars).
