Thanks for making these tools available it does make life easier for the
rest of us. I have an observation and a couple of questions though.

The POT2PO script creates an initial set of po files in which the
message strings are all copied across from the msgid strings. However,
they are not set as untranslated or fuzzy so in my case where en-GB is
similar to en-US it is hard to tell which strings one has translated
and/or checked by simple inspection. This is a minor issue really and I
have devised ways to work around it ... I have not yet tried merging a
new version yet, but I hope that any new strings in the POT files are
marked as untranslated or fuzzy when they are merged in! Are they? How
does one know which are the new strings to translate? One of the reasons
I'd like to generate my own sdf file (in the future) is so that it
contains the extracted en-GB strings and one does not have to rely on
merging the new and old po files.

Once the po files have been translated and a sdf file created from them
is there any way of testing other than rebuilding OOo from the source?
For example I notice that one can download language packs for the test
version and these can be installed to create a localised version of it.
How does one create such a language pack? It may be easier than
rebuilding OOo from source (which I'm still having difficulty with). 8-)

Thanks
David.
