Back-Conversion to PO!?
SUN: XML<->SDF<->PO<->XLIFF :Translators

The PO->XLIFF and SDF->TMX conversions do not encapsulate any code
contents so we have all the code as translatable...
Even if PO were not used we'd still have:
XML<->SDF<->XLIFF
XML<->SDF<->TMX
Which is just as bad for the same reason: SDF removes all XML benefit
from the file since it flattens everything (with plenty of ugly
escapes) to text. And the current converters don't seem to be smart
enough to encapsulate all that anyway.
I have no idea why SUN can't do:
XML<->XLIFF(<->PO)
XML<->TMX
I did not know about that ... You're of course absolutely right
about losing everything.
I tried the last OOo 2.3 translation files with PO first and gave up.
Then I hacked the SDF to have something that looked like the original
XML and used OmegaT to translate. The results were very satisfying,
but the hack was a pain in the butt (it is documented on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list).
