A good idea from the rosetta mailing list... for archiving :-)

I would like suggest Rosetta also incorporate some form of automatic
translation, especially for Chinese support. Wikipedia has an automated
convert for all varients of Chinese (zh_TW, zh_HK, zh_SG), and the Gnome
Hong Kong translation team appear to use a script for automated
conversion of zh_TW to zh_HK.
Currently the Gnome Project has a good conversion rate for zh_TW and
zh_HK but for Ubuntu Dapper it is very minimal. Is there a good way of
improving this without the manual overhead cost, even with the
assistance of a Greasemonkey script?
For example to try to move forward a bit how about a web service to
Rosetta so that a Chinese translataor could download all the zh_TW .po
files, run through the automated conversion script, and re-upload as
zh_HK? The alternative would be a script to scrape the results from the
Rosetta website instead. Will Canonical be ok with that?
