srs files are created by the OOo resource compiler, they are not in cvs. They are more or less the same as src files but already preprocessed (defines replaced by numbers etc.). Finally a bunch of them gets compiled into the binary res files. sdf files contain localized resources defined in src files - the src files nowadays only contain the english language. In former times all languages have been in the src files. The creation of sdf files (amongst other benefits) saved us from merge conflicts happening due the permanent changes of the localizations with occasional changes in the content. hrc files are header files that define symbols for resource ids so they usually get included in both the resource files defining the resources and the c++ source files using the resources defined in the src files. sdi files are something completely different. They contain definition files for the dispatch API of sfx2 based applications and are not related to resources at all. In veeeeery ancient times they contained localizable strings also but not nowadays. xml files can have several purposes, some of them are used for the definition of menubar, toolbar or keyboard shortcuts configuration. Only the latter may contain localized content - not strings but language dependent shortcuts. Localization of menubar or toolbar items is done by localizing the contained command names using xcu files from the OOo configuration.
