[xiangquan xiao]

Foward to blen-translation :)

> I talked with Sergey and this is the current workflow. We can add it to
> //po/README.txt if other translators will run into that. But the basic
> information is there already:
>
> (1) run update_msg.py (it needs compiled Blender)
> (2) run update_pot.py - gather the latest strings from Blender
> (3) run update_po.py - sync in the new changes from trunk
> (4) run clean_po.py - remove the no longer needed msgstr/msgid
> (5) run merge_po.py to bring the new .po file into trunk's .po
>
> If you actually want to discard the old translations from trunk's ar.po
> it's
> better to cook your own .py for that (trivial to adapt the arabic_to_utf.py
> for that as you know). Given that this is the exception and not the rule I
> don't think we need this officially in trunk. This would happen between (4)
> and (5).
>
> * Note: you likely want to run clean_po.py in your new .po to avoid
> translate strings that are not needed.

> The
