What is the GNU Translation Project? People who know how to translate
text and are doing it as we speak? Or some sort of program that does
natural language translation?
If automagic conversion to MessageFormat will work, and there are
willing translators who work with .po files, then the conversion route would
be best, I'd think. It'd be nice to use Java's inborn facilities to do most
of our stuff (unless .po is more powerful?).
