Okay, I'll do #3 ;). Here is my thinking:
- Create a scheduled proc that updates the catalog files out of the database nightly. Something like db_foreach package_key { and here I need your help or look it up in acs-lang }. Files should be stored in a seperate directory structure for each locale (e.g. /tmp/de_DE/packages/...)
- Create a bash-script, that tar's up the up to date catalog files and stores them somewhere to download (e.g. /www/catalog/de_DE.tgz)
- Write a documentation for new users on how to download the catalog file.
Obviously Peter would have to install it at one stage on the translation server as I doubt it would make much sense if I provide this on my laptop.
