Hi Claude,

Which changes are required on our side? (And which changes on your 
side?)

We do not use one or two po files, but a set of 40+ files in several 
directories (and probably a non-standard naming scheme) - is this a 
problem?

Would it be possible to use some of our tools for building pot or po 
files (e.g. a patched version of xml2po)?

(Using a compendium is a nice feature, but it's not important or 
necessary.)

The GIMP help translation community? Oh god, the number of translators 
is extremely small - one or two poor volunteers per language spending 
a little bit of their time...

I don't see a problem - any help would be appreciated! :-)

Thanks for your offer!
Ulf
