The intltool collection can be used to extract translatable strings from various source files (.xml.in, .glade, .desktop.in, .server.in, .oaf.in), collect the extracted strings together with messages from traditional source files (.c, .h) in po/PACKAGE.pot and merge back the translations from .po files into .xml, .desktop and .oaf files. This merge step will happen at build or installation time.
