I am not sure I am with you here: are you proposing to add a sample of each file
type and sniff for the magic signature ?

Isn't this mapping more related to the fact that the mime-types are needed as
anchor to know where to insert the translations but to parsing a merged
documents.ulf ?

Also: your script relies on internals of the translation process here: as long
as you don't have a "contract" with the l10n framework maintainers, the
structure of sdf files is subject to chance without notice.

Good catch ! Actually this code is also in translate.pl and was intended for
beta only (the name change "Open Office -> OpenDocument" came on pretty short
notice). I should have removed it instead of copying without thinking.
 
Depending on how fast we agree on a long term goal, we might need a different
issue for this to fix it as soon as possible.

So my approach on this would be:

a) make the shared-mime-info file the source for all mime-type handling (this
will require some icon renaming) and

b) get the shared-mime-info format directly supported by our l10n framework
(obsoleting documents.ulf)

c) copy the existing translation database to their new keys (will need help von
Ivo & Ause for this)

However I am not sure if this should done for OOo 2.0. I could also live with
following your suggestion for OOo 2.0.x and implement the other solution on a
CWS targeted for OOo Next.

What do you think ?
