Interesting - I still, wonder if we really want to do that. I figured,
that there is sometimes even more English strings than translated
strings.
Do you implement it as a special mode (like the default is the docbook
mode)?
Anyways - I'd be interested in your results :)

That's actually the thing. I figured today, if there is no 1:1 mapping
between reference and translation language - the whole reuse option is
b0rked. That's because of the sequential parsing of the files. First the
translation, than the original XML is parsed (or vice versa). Then the
translation strings are merged. If we have more translated strings than
reference language strings... well - do something with it... And if the
difference between the reference language and the translation already
happens in the start of the article, the whole *.pot file is messed up.

Try to test it with the src/dialogs/tools-dialog.xml for example...

Why not merging it?
