merging upstream and vendor translations

[Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec suse cz>]

Hallo.

I am just working on a tool, which will able to merge translations from
GNOME SVN to the vendor branch, which is based on one of older branches
SVN.

Here is the tool and example of the output:
http://pack.suse.cz/sbrabec/fate301344/

It searches in arbitrary number of resources (currently all newer
branches of updated package, in future also in vendor translation
project).
Here is an example of configuration:
http://pack.suse.cz/sbrabec/fate301344/source/translation-updater.conf
In case of conflicting translations, the later in the list wins.

As a logical step forward, it may be implementation of merging of
translations back to upstream, if:

- Any of older branches got a translation update, which could be applied
to HEAD (or any other) branch.

- Any of other listed sources (e. g. Novell Translation Service) will
provide new translation.

Do you have any comments or opinions, whether and how it should be done
and which problems should I be aware?
