- Language independent UNO package
- API allowing loading file and GUI string retrieving
- Not restricted to already existing Openoffice.org languages
- Tools for creating and add new translations

- Handle multiline and 'string template' substitution
Proposals
- each language in a po file
- po files are given within the Extension package
- Python Uno package
- A calc or writer macro loads a language po file, enabling translation. Result is then exported
Use existing translation infrastructure

- original and translated files synced via source control
- much higher access to available translators
- easier to update multiple files
- easier to update/grab via script
