Things are rather more complicated than this, due to more than two years of inactivity merging translations; take this example: https://translate.apache.org/es/aoo40/translate/cui/source/tabpages.po#unit=13107269 In the current SDF files, both on trunk and AOO41* branch, this string isn't inside RID_OFAPAGE_AUTOCORR_EXCEPT, all these SDFs have the string inside RID_OFAPAGE_AUTOCORR_QUOTE, this is a change (may be a bug, we should check this) introduced with the integration of ia2: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/branches/AOO414/main/cui/source/tabpages/autocdlg.src?r1=1465678&r2=1541847&diff_format=h several string were move from one tabtage to the other. In trunk and AOO414 source, STR_PB_DBL_START and others are part of RID_OFAPAGE_AUTOCORR_EXCEPT, the same on pootle. So pootle does have 4.1.* strings. But 4.1.* are not on the SDFs from trunk and AOO414. > This means we don't have a clean way for > reintegrating strings into the AOO41x branches. > > Of course, integrating translations should be a priority for 4.2.0; and of > course, it is still possible to integrate translation fixes into 4.1.4 (I > did this for fixing a few Italian strings in 4.1.2, but I edited the SDF > files directly, after doing the same fixes in Pootle for trunk). > > So if this is about integrating some important fixes, I'm all for it.

Pootle does not have trunk, see the example above. If we get the original en-US SDF used to generate the pootle templates, the date in it may give us an idea of what svn revision is reflecting pootle. So far, what we have in the SDFs on trunk and the branches is a merge that has as base an en-US SDF generated on 20130618 17:22:18, that is the date on al the SDFs on trunk, branch AOO41* and http://home.apache.org/~jsc/translation/aoo40new_en-US.sdf I assume the current pootle strings are closer to branch AOO412-4 than trunk, this is my conclusion after doing some test with jsc SDF on home.apache.org and one generated from AOO414 source. So I will integrate translations on demand, starting with the Spanish translation as a proof of concept; integration won't be automatic, a lot of manual work is needed, and the pootle server won't be modified in any way, all work is done offline by downloading the po files.
