Off-topic translation management

[Alexandro Colorado <jz...@oooes.org>]

Hi Just a question that I couldnt answer, how is the translation being
handled upon merging. I understand AOO uses its own string management (SDF)
and there is a process to merge the localization into the application.
However I dont really have enough knowledge on the application side, and
the tools to make this merging, is there any documentation explaining this
process, and how are the placeholders on the app handled.

Regards.

PO files are manually converted to SDF. SDF is then used directly within 
the build process, there are no external tools that process the SDF 
files (or they do it transparently during the build process). The best 
path to investigate would probably be to track what happens when using 
the --with-lang configure option.
