Run something like 

        pyuic -p 4 -o file.py file.ui

This will create 'modules'.  Run something like 

        pyuic -x -p 4 -o main.py main.ui

to create the main executable.

You'll have to subclass the modules to make changes since the files get
overwritten everytime they are regenerated.

There's a method for handling and dealing with I18N and L10N.  Here on my box
the docs are at /usr/share/doc/packages/qt3/html/i18n.html and you should be
able to find them online at http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/i18n.html


Be seeing you,
