Open Language Tools does work, but I have yet to find anyone using it. Most 
projects are using the POT/PO process for translation. So the process is to 
generate a POT file, copy it for language translation, then convert that back 
to language specific XML. In this way there is no longer a need to keep XML 
files for all languages, these files are dynamicaly generated from the PO 
files and presentation files produced from this.
