Actually, we're still looking for people to finish (or start) their 7.4
translations, because that is what most people will be using for the
longest time. When we near 7.5, we'll probably just copy over most of
the 7.4 translations and start from there.

The general consensus is that FOP is simply not there yet.

Well, when people feel good about it, we can switch the stored format to
XML. I'm not in a hurry, though, because what is there right now is
almost equivalent. I've also tried out the po2xml thingy and it seems
to work, but translating about 10000 strings seems to be a daunting
task.
