Ah, maybe I understand now ;-)  So of course, it is up to you to define
if you want to have the translations merged from the OOo tree to the LO
tree for 3.4, or not.  I understand it that you'd prefer not to, ie.
l10n repo (containing the localize.sdf's) untouched by the merges from
OOo, right?

Thank you,
