For the 1st step (extraction):
1. Create en-US.sdf (make translations), it will be in workdir/$OUTDIR/CustomTarget/translations/translate/sdf-template/en-US.sdf
2. Create pot files. I use translate-toolkit with the following patch

else:
# if the language doesn't exist, the translation is missing ... so make it blank
part2 = oo.ooline()
- if "x-comment" in theoo.languages:
- translators_comment = theoo.languages["x-comment"]
- else:
- translators_comment = oo.ooline()
+ line = oo.ooline()
+ line.text = part1.getparts()[11]
+ translators_comment = line
key = oo.makekey(part1.getkey(), self.long_keys)
unitlist = []
for subkey in ("text", "quickhelptext", "title"):
The command: oo2po -P -i sdf-template/en-US.sdf -o pot
3. Add keyids. The command:
perl /path/to/l10ntools/scripts/addkeyid2pot.pl pot
The result is something similar that you can download from http://dev-www.libreoffice.org/l10n/latest-pot/ (see 3.6 files for reference)
First task is to extract pot files from the source in a single step, fast (C++). Re-use as much of possible from existing code.

Currently our translators work with po files and we store po files in git. However, LibreOffice build system still uses the old sdf file format internally, and conversion from/to sdf takes a lot of time. Tasks: 1. Extract strings from source directly to pot (with all necessary information, including keyid, and if possible, be compatible to current pot files). 2. Merge translations from po to LibreOffice source files. + checks at merge time * build breaker bugs should be detected (like gsicheck) * compare msgid to source en-US string and don't merge if they don't match
