Open source translation tools
"Translating an application is a little more complex than simply translating its documentation. GNOME, OpenOffice.org, KDE, and Mozilla/Firefox have their own separate procedures for translation. OpenOffice.org requires its GSI (GutSchmidt's Interface) files to be translated, while Mozilla and Firefox have their translatable messages in .dtd and .properties files. One way to translate these applications is to convert everything into PO files and then use one of the PO editing tools. SourceForge's Translation Project has various tools that can assist you as a translator. The oo2po and po2oo tools convert files from the GSI format to PO format and, after translation, back to GSI. The moz2po and po2moz perform similar functions with the Mozilla English Language Packs."
