Perhaps your patch file is corrupt.
Please post the first 10 lines of it.

Ah. No wonder it isn't working.
"Normal" diffs don't store any filename information.
Use diff -u or diff -c.

Thank you very much indeed!
That solved the problem. I have tried to use that options before, but
without "-p1 -d ./en-GB/", so I thought that they won't help.
Cheers,
Constantine.
