Hi I guess most translators here would prefer to use their existing PO editors. The Translate Toolkit has a converter that can create a POT file from many subtitle formats: http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/sub2po This is available since version 1.4.0 of the Translate Toolkit. This way people can use their existing editors and workflows. Let me know if you need any help with this.
