Hi Just pulling myself out of a 6 new language plus 4 updates hole but here goes...
I've just been documenting how to create non-English source language files for Mozilla and have added some info for OOo here: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/oo2po Use this: oo2po -P --source-language=fr GSI_fr.sdf french-pot This will create .pot files with French (fr) as the source language using GSI_fr.sdf and putting all the files into french-pot To create a set of PO files with your translation and a different source languages try this. Here we are creating a source language of Afrikaans (af) and a target language of Xhosa (xh) Take your existing SDF files cat GSI_af.sdf GSI_xh.sdf > GSI_af-xh.sdf oo2po --source-language=af -lxh GSI_af-xh.sdf po Using your combined SDF file this will create PO files with Afrikaans in the msgid and Xhosa in the msgstr and output them into a directory called po. To create a new SDF file after translating do the following: po2oo -lxh -t en-US.sdf af-xh new.sdf This uses an en-US.sdf file as a template and read po files from af-xh placing them in new.sdf NOTE: I checked the produced GSI file using gsicheck. But if you are going to rely on this method I suggest a more thorough check, maybe do it in small stages.
