...which strikes me as eminently sensible, as we're trying to  
concentrate on Writer first, to get that published (along with the  
installer and possibly some help files). We'll worry about Calc,  
Base, etc. later.

But that brings me back to my original question (well, one of 'em):  
how do I reconcile the differences between the 200-odd .po files that  
we've half-translated to date, and the half-dozen that are used in  
Rosetta? When I say "reconcile the differences", all I want to do is  
upload the work we've got so far to Rosetta and carry on working on  
it there.

How do I do that, please? Is it:
   (A) use some script to assemble the 200-odd files into one giant  
one, then another script to split it up again into Rosetta-style .po  
files to be uploaded?
   (B) upload all the current files to all the templates and let the  
import system filter what it wants and what it doesn't want for each  
Rosetta template? (potentially very long and tedious)
   (C) Wait for the new features that Carlos described?
   (D) $your_answer_here

Thanks in advance for the response.
