mcedit.1.in but in mc.1.in is the same.

No problem, translating is much difficult and error prone without a full
understanding of the context, so I have to check almost for every sentence...
The real problem is:
1) there are 2 files describing (more or less) the same thing
(the internal editor) to keeping in sync: mc.1.in (in the internal
editor section) and mcedit.1.in
2) and, more important, there is not a single reference mechanism like
gettext strings for the manual: i.e. if I change something in
the main /mc/doc/mc.1.in file, it's really difficult to track the
changes in all the translated manuals...
Sorry but I have not an answer to the problem...perhaps cutting up the
manuals in pieces and merging the strings together like in po
files...
