Thank you André for the tip.
Unfortunately, although I have UI 3.1 archived in my notebook, the
results of the pretranslate (version 1.3, though) command are no good at
all.
I get a full migration of the old (3.1) dialog.po in translated_cui.po
but cui.po has 1821 strings and (3.1) dialog.po has 2719 strings. A
mismatch.
Then I tried to copy the commented strings from the (new) dialog.po
(suposedly the same as cui.po) but it is not so funny to rebuild a valid
po file by simple cut & paste plus edition, and I get a broken po file
(msgctxt polluting msgtxt strings and no more #-comments).
So I kindly ask the l10n team to supply cui.po with the already
translated strings available in dialog.po, I really would like to avoid
1821 strings rework (*).
Thanks
Olivier
(*) Yes, I use KBabel with TM, but it is nevertheless *not* error prone
and very time consuming.

The strings have been moved to cui.po !
Saddly, the strings were moved but the translation not... It could
spare us many hours of work and mistakes hunt... Any chances to get
our translated strings loaded in cui.po?
If you have the previous version of dialog.po (containing your old
translations) yes - this would be possible. In this case you need the
translate toolkit
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/translate/files/Translate%20Toolkit/1.4.0/)
and then run
pretranslate -t cui.po -i _old_version_of_dialog.po -o translated_cui.po
Maybe this is also possible with the current version of dialog.po, if
you remove the comment marks. (I did not check, as I don't work with po
files).
Some basic recommendations:
- download the full zip-archive of your translation before major
translation updates in pootle (so that you have your own archives)
- use some Computer Aided Translation tools with good translation memory
support (this will save a lot of time esp. for UI-translation)
- install translation toolkit and spend some time to work with it (This
will give you an idea how pootle threads the files internally)
I registered da BOF session for Oriveto on "Best practices translating
OOo" (with kind support from Rafaella). I hope, we can discuss and
collect more recommendations there.
