Hi,
Thanks Sherif for bringing this project in.
Korean community members are also working on a similar project:
* http://potron.sourceforge.net/
* http://codethread.net/potron/
It would be interesting to put all these initiatives together.
I believe it would be also important to develop support for xliff as
this standard is getting stronger in the localization industry.
Cheers,
Manuel
