'text'? What does it mean? I have waded through the
tool_translator/htmlparser snippet, and now I have an idea. So, it
collects all the textual data (one block is specified as 'character
data' in XML notation, e.g. text between a start-tag and end-tag). I
suppose that when generates the translated text, it copies all the
special notations (such as etc.) from the source, yes? I don't
exactly understand what it does with { ... } text. I suppose that I have

What is it good for? To indentify the changed content?

So, there is no special notation for a string that means 'hey! translate
me!'. Anyway, it looks good. 2 questions just to be sure that I
understand: 1. If I delete a paragraph, I don't have to do anything
except run stage 3 to update all the other language sites, yes? 2. If I
have a 2-page length text with a <B>blahblah</B> in the middle, then I
have to translate 3 entries: a long one, 'blahblah', and another long
one?
Ok, I think I have the picture. A few more questions: how can I put my
style (or page) tree into the translation process? And how can I put
content only to one of the translated style that it won't disappear at
the next translated template update? (E.g., special info only to the
germans?) Maybe check the language in PHP and write out the text...?
