I have a Perl script which I used for generating a translation dictionary. It 
looks inside a directory for PO files, and inside each one it seeks for 
"correct single words" and makes a multi-hash of them. This creates the list 
of all the translations available for the word XXX.

From this small example, you can understand that while this may work, it will 
probably fail much more times. Specially since may of the words have several 
meanings on the target language: English is not very deterministic about the 
meaning of the word.

Still, I will try this in the next month, as I have some exams to take right 
now.
