Indeed, po2prop does the job. But I couldn't find an easy way to automatically perform this operation before a commit is done from the web interface in Pootle. I expect the pre-commit hook of upcoming version to help in this task. There is probably another way to add a wrapper to the svn command that calls po2prop before the actual commit. > I'd also suggest first checking that prop2po handles all your needs, > maybe check bugs.locamotion.org and review any related to properties > files to ensure that they don't affect you. Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at the bugtracker. >> I've seen that Mozootle has support for commiting hooks.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on your progress on 1.3, and will test extensively the .properties related tools on our translation files meanwhile. I'll come back to you if I find any issue.
