loading the pdfs now works fine, but the last message remains
non-localized (and it doesn't seem to be in the new .pot)

well, what do you think?


And then, some things I hadn't noticed before:

- I couldn't see how to set a variable to "discrete" in the denmark data
set. Not that it would make any sense there, but in case you disabled
discreteness for all time series data, isn't that a little too radical?
 It's not really my field, but I don't see why we can't have time series
of discrete variables.

- Also with a discrete variable, there seems to be a bug when fitting a
normal distribution, it's way off (see attached saved graph
"histogram-discrete.png"). However, this didn't happen with another
discrete variable I had, so this bug may be subtle.

that's it for now,
Sven
