It's probably easier in general to get a recent po or pot file from the
translation status pages
(http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/status/), where the pot and po
files are updated from CVS and intltool-updated several times a day. So
if you download such a file, it should be reasonably uptodate.

The thing with gtranslator is that it was removed from the status pages
following the explicit request to do so from the previous maintainer
(http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2003-April/msg00100.html).
So it hasn't been on the status pages since then. Given the recent
revival of the project, I assume it's ok if I go ahead and add it back
again. I've done that change now; gtranslator should show up on the
status pages under "GNOME 2.4" -> "Extras" the next time the pages are
updated.

The current translation status pages do work that way, at least in a
one-way sense. The ability to also post translations could be an useful
future addition, given proper authentication of course.

Feature requests for the translation status pages can be entered at
