Cool. There is no common infrastructure for this yet. We could consider using 
something like rosetta of ubuntu/canonical, a free translation project. 

I think the status for the parts:
	- 2007.2 and FSO will use gettext (.po) but might not be aware of l10n (the 
usual errors when starting to think about i18n/l10n)
	- I assume EFL/E17/illume uses gettext as well
	- Qtopia/Qt has it's own format and tools (linguist)


Would you be interested in heading a i18n/l10n group? This would include:
	- Picking infrastructure to get translators the strings
	- Picking on devs not using gettext and pointing them to docu and how to 
rewrite the strings to be translatable


I can help you to get .po and .ts files for ASU, but we should do it in a 
systematic way so we can do this reliable and also taking upstream projects 
like enlightenment into account.
