Hi, try to use OmegaT and TMX format; it's what I use to translate my docbook documents and it keeps the formating. It's a free tool (gpl). They keep what is already translated in a databse (xml) and when you encounter a phrase which is similar, they propose the most accurate translation you already did.
http://www.omegat.org/ XLIFF is another solution.
