[ovirt-devel] [Russian oVirt localization] Gettext .pos to Java .properties convert, need help

[Einav Cohen]

Hi Juliette, have you tried asking on the zanata-users at redhat.com 
mailing list? I believe that people on that list would be more 
familiar with the different translation tools / formats, as well 
as proper file-conversion methods, etc.

Thanks,
Einav
