That's a good question...

We are moving Rosetta to handle the OpenOffice.org translations to use a
single .pot file.

As you should already know, manage 230 .po files is really hard and
there are many duplicates that are not reused between those files. Also,
we don't think that the Rosetta navigation will be too user friendly
with that amount of files.

This spec describes what we are planning to implement:
https://launchpad.net/products/rosetta/+spec/translate-huge-files


In the mean time, I suggest you to use the same solution we are using
for Ubuntu.

You can talk with Matthias Klose <doko at ubuntu.com> for more info about
that.
