You are talking about the new i18n-thing?
Please don't depend your work on the ddtp server. If we have the new
i18n system running, we will stop the ddtp server and move to the new
system.
for the ddtp in the new i18n system we need:
1. some importer to get package Descriptions from the Packagefiles
from the ftp server
2. do the work in the new i18n system (po files, translation, review,
etc)
3. some exporter to generating the Translation files for the ftp master
