I think we're the only ones who followed what's written in the readme.txt:

    Drupal 6 comes with automated translation file import, so the
    translation source strings are organized by location. For the
    translations to be imported automatically, translated templates
    should be renamed for the translations such as (for example in Italian):

    - general.pot to general.it.po
    - themes-garland.pot to themes-garland.it.po....


that instruction is very clear, but unfortunately wrong.

So Gabor, just to be 100% sure, the language code is NOT a part of the 
filename?
If so, please edit the readme.txt file from the Translation Templates :-)
