Well, I have a general idea about what translation memory is. I just
wanted to clarify how we are going to implement that for zope eggs.
So, as far as I understand now, our localization migration process
should be like that:

1) create a separate translation domain for every package (so, the
"zope.container" domain for the "zope.container" package)
2) merge catalogs provided by current zope.app.locales with every
package's translations into the package's own domain (so we get all
packages somehow translated).
3) write a tool (probably a buildout recipe) that collects
translations from multiple packages into one PO/TMX/whatever file for
using it as a translation memory file for translation tools.
4) call for translators
5) ...
6) PROFIT! :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It would also cool to integrate it with launchpad translation system,
but I didn't look at that yet.
