If I understand what you need then you want to take some clean .pot
file generated by Harbour and make some automatic translation for
sentences which are already translated in some other files.
You can find tools which makes such operations designed for gettext.
Harbour hb18n does not have such functionality but I can add it using
some new switch, f.e.:
-a add automatic translations to 1-st .pot file using translations
from other .pot or .hbl files

I'm not sure we are talking about the same functionality.
Will the above -a option cover your needs?
