As mentioned in my separate e-mail about Pootle, we consider our move to XLIFF as a really important task. We are also busy building an offline translation editor that is made with Qt4 and Python and will therefore be cross platform. It will work with PO and XLIFF files and also be based on the translate toolkit, like Pootle. It will also sport many of the same features of the Pootle editor like checks (see my separate e-mail), and extra features such as translation memory. Another aspect that we have planned for the future, is indeed this kind of integration between client translation programs and the Pootle server, where the server facilitates the translation management and workflow. So yes, we definitely are working on the complete stack, as Javier Serrador calls it Dwayne Bailey and Javier Solá from our team recently met with Damien Donlon of Sun to explored ways of working together around Pootle, XLIFF and OpenOffice.org localisation. I think we will see more in this space in future.
