What would be the formal prerequesites to make translated XML-Files jhalfs compatible?

Then the translator can use KBabel, Kaider or any other translation tool to translate PO-files and keep a translation database, he can diff old translations to new ones, use rough translations etc. > > Or they are not using the xml2pot <-> po2xml toolchain, then we should > > explain it to translators somewhere to acquire a more efficient > > translation workflow. > > Yes, good idea. Well, currently I'm really busy with KDE 4 translations, but when I have some time I'll setup a little translation howto for LFS translators, which could be uploaded to the website. Cheers Thomas
