Re: [libreoffice-l10n] l10n of LibreOffice 3.3.1

Andras

I was quite happy to have all po files in pootle in the OOo project. 
That allowed me to inspect e fix a couple of mistakes on-the-fly and get 
our translation up-to date in all the modules of the software.

I want to help, and do more on the files handling and checks, but I 
don't want to start from scratch and somehow I need help to extract the 
existing translation from LibreOffice (pt-BR). OOO files are now 
outdated for me.

I have the files of OOo 3.3 final. Does it helps?

Thanks,

Olivier
