[bt-devel] problems with translation tools

[Martin Gruner]

Hi Thomas,

you may be right in asserting that kbabel is not useful for .ts files. I just 
tried editing a file and it gave wrong results by changing the XML.

It also seems that the KDE4 replacement of KBabel, "lokalize", cannot (yet?) 
read .ts files.

So we may have to ask translators to use QT's linguist instead (which in turn 
cannot open .po files). Bummer. Doesn't sound like a cool strategy.

What do yall think?

@Thomas: what do you mean by 'batch translations'?
