[Zope] i18n ".pot" files: Edit with Web Application?

[Hermann Himmelbauer]

Hi,
I am currently involved in a Zope project. Our Project needs to be 
internationalized, hence I took a look at the i18n layer.

My problem now is that our translators are no programmers, hence they won't be 
able to edit the ".pot" files. (Maybe this sounds silly, but they do not 
close bracktes etc., therefore I have to check the files afterwards by hand 
which is very cumbersome).

What I consider is presenting the translators a web application which reads 
the .pot file, presents the user the original translation including the file 
comments (so that people know where the text is situated) and displays some 
text fields where the user can input their special translation.
There they can easily translate the messages and afterwards I only have to 
copy the ".pot" file to the right folder.

What I wanted to know if perhaps someone wrote such a web application or 
something similar that I can use. If nothing like that exists, I consider 
writing this on my own, perhaps you have some helpfuls hints/suggestions what 
features the application should have and how one should implement this.

What I moreover thought about if it's possible to present the user the actual 
page and let him somehow "click" on the messages which opens up a popup or 
something similar and lets him put in the translation directly. But maybe 
this is too complicated, moreover these translations would only apply to web 
pages and not to script messages.
