I agree that Pootle is ideal for quick fixes and for many aspects of
team work and review. It is also great for searching through all files
in a project. An offline editor can be useful in other cases. See also
my other email about future features of Pootle and how we try to narrow
the feature gap.

Virtaal stores all local TM in a database which can be swapped out if
you want (a single database file in your profile). It also allows to
enable/disable different plugins for translation memory as you prefer. I
don't think a lot of people are interested in this kind of
customisability if they only translate software GUIs and help, but of
course some people might want to do so anyway.

The Translate Toolkit can combine lots of PO files into a TMX file with
po2tmx. You can import the translated strings from any supported file
into Virtaal's TM by saving it inside Virtaal. (Saving might be disabled
if you only openend it, so just add and remove a space to enable
'Save'.)

If you want to import a lot of PO files into the TM database of Virtaal,
you can also use the script from the Translate Toolkit called
build_tmdb.

Keep well
