Subject: [l10n-dev] OpenOffice POT files

If you want to translate OpenOffice using GNU Gettext PO files then you 
can grab the latest POT files from:

http://translate.org.za/download/pot/openoffice/ooo-1.1rc3-pot.tar.bz2

The main advantage of using this system is that you can use your 
existing PO resources and PO translation tools such as kbabel.

We've also been creating our own tools to do these conversion - we 
initially used the Perl ones but have rewritten them in Python.  We've 
created tools to convert Mozilla DTD files to PO aswell.  You can see 
more info on the Mozilla tools at:

http://translate.org.za/main.php?category=66&subcategory=0

We'll publish the OOo tools a little later.

We also use tools to convert PO to CSV which we find opens the whole 
translation process to many professional translators who are usually 
Windows bound.

"An English-only, or even an English-mainly, policy necessarily condemns
most people, and thus the country as a whole, to a permanent state of
mediocrity, since people are unable to be spontaneous, creative and
self-confident if they cannot use their first language"
