seems like the gettext integration isnt quite right. using gettext-0.18.1 over here ...

first, the timestamps are off:

$ tar xf kbd-1.15.3.tar.gz
$ cd kbd-1.15.3
$ ./configure -q
$ make -d >& log

...

next, the translation files themselves seem to be a bit outdated:

$ make
...
make[3]: Entering directory `.../kbd-1.15.3/po'
make[3]: `cs.gmo' is up to date.
make[3]: `da.gmo' is up to date.
make[3]: `de.gmo' is up to date.
make[3]: `el.gmo' is up to date.
make[3]: `eo.gmo' is up to date.
rm -f es.gmo && /usr/bin/gmsgfmt -c --statistics -o es.gmo es.po
es.po:1366: 'msgstr' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: 
The string refers to arguments both through absolute argument numbers and 
through unnumbered argument specifications.
/usr/bin/gmsgfmt: found 1 fatal error
204 translated messages, 38 fuzzy translations, 50 untranslated messages.
make[3]: *** [es.gmo] Error 1
...

unrelated, make dist doesnt seem to work at all:

$ make dist
...
make[1]: Entering directory `.../kbd-1.15.3/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `analyze.l', needed by `analyze.c'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `.../kbd-1.15.3/src'
...

That's why I made ​​a release candidate. But apparently no one is testing it.

Rgrds, legion

I had it on my ToDo list, but only glanced at your post, and
convinced myself I had more time. Apologies. If I wished to split hairs, I would say that the messages above are from "make install", but 'make' itself ends with the same error. It looks as if all languages after 'es' have not been processed.

das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

All of these bugs are fixed in git.

Rgrds, legion

thanks, seems to be ok for me

although make distcheck still fails ...

Fixed in git.
