In many cases downloading the tree and parsing it with tools like grep
or similar might be easier.
You also benefit from having a offline compendium for later use, built
from both recent and older
translations. I previously used KBabel, and now its replacement
Lokalize, for offline work. Much
more manageable than translating in Pootle IMHO. I still do the easier
bits directly in Pootle.
E.g Andras updates the files in Pootle, so I don't have to work as I did
in the past, leaving
me more time to translate.
