 So, OmegaT and Lokalize can handle this conversion and WordForge might
handle it in future if necessary code updates are added (after using patches
for the toolkit)? Seems ok.

How could then the workflow for localizing ODT files look like? Could
ODF-XLIFF transformation be offered by the translation system (Pootle?) so
that the user does not bother with that? Localizers would localize XLIFF
files (how does that relate to localization of pictures and other objects in
the ODF?).
