The original idea was to create a separate branch.

It is much less a problem to "allow" than a technical problem how to make it 
work.

We have currently the tool chain that we have:
- POT files are created from the DocBook
- Scripty merges the POT files to corresponding the corresponding PO files
- original DocBook and translated PO files are merge in the translated 
documentation.

Currently, the tools for DocBook to POT and POT to DocBook are compiled; that 
seems to be a problem too for many teams.
