This is also important for my work.  I now have implemented a serializer
that writes the same format as it reads: the one that Translation-??
files use.  However, from your message it seems that the database is
separate and the Translation-?? files are generated.

I could of course write a version that sends a flurry of e-mails to
DDTP, but that's probably not a very good idea :)  It would be best to
talk directly to the database.

In what format would you prefer to get the translations?  Assuming that
I do unwrapping, etc., to make translation easier, I suppose that
plain .po files would not be very convenient.  It would be best if the
same script did the wrapping and the unwrapping.
