Frank,
On a slightly different topic, is there a chance that the translation
workflow for OOo's help files will become all XML based and not have
to go through the SDF conversion in the future ?
That would be so much easier to have files directly in XLIFF (and
then eventually in PO for PO users). The current process: XML->SDF->PO
(->XLIFF) puts all the XML non translatable code inside the
translatable strings and that is very unfriendly (to say the least)
to the translator.
