No, I don't mean that.

To translate a program you need the sources because the documentation you 
see is the output of a postprocess. You need the sources of the 
documentation. Also, for the step of translating the messages a program 
gives you do need the source code. In theory, the .po file should be 
enough, but you need the context.
