Graeme,

while I concur with your first part as a way to go, it is maybe 
"not-so-average" people (linguists/interpreters), but other than that I agree.

Although there is a whole lot more involved with multilingual apps than that in 
my experience. Sometimes a form is to be redesigned slightly/heavily due to 
real-estate and constraints (either by system like screen resolution; or 
directly on demand by the client).

That is why I never really grasped the whole .po stuff as in my experience that 
is not always enough.

but I digress...

kind regards,
Dimitri Smits
