Salâms,

We need to decide how the data will be stored in the database. I can 
imagine two scenarios :
1- keep each po file as is i.e. in one big chunck corresponding to one 
record in the database.
2- split po files and have one record per message.
In all cases, we should make the choices explicit and draw a database 
specification.

If each po file is stored in one chunk, we need a parser like the one I 
proposed lately to load the data into objects, before we can push the 
data in some web form for the translators to deal with. Once the 
translator is done, we need to rebuild the po file before storing it in 
the databse again. Some work is still needed here. I am not sure why 
Maha you suggested to have a numerical identifier for each message. Is 
this really necessary ?

In the web form, some data must be editable (msgstr) while some need not 
(msgid and file header).

Salâm

Mohammad
