You know more about the translations needs then I do.  Paul had also 
mentioned "http://translate.sourceforge.net/"; as an option.  On the one 
hand I'd be fine if we wrote our own app in turbogears.  On the other 
hand, I'd love to use something already out there.  Let me see what I 
can do about the modules and the po files.  And just for the education 
of myself and those on the list.  Can you tell us the difference between 
l10n and i18n is, and how you guys do what you do, what the heck a po or 
pot file is.  Just educate us in general about your needs and how 
cvs.fedoraproject.org will help you accomplish them.
