 Under Windows (If you don't have Cygwin or MinGW), you should execute the
 commands manually, please have a look at Makefile to see what must be done.
 
+For platform specific translations, .po files such as 'locale/msw/it.po' can be
+used to provide translations that override the usual ones in 'locale/it.po'.
+The generated .mo files are then installed under the names such as 'wxmsw.mo'
