The attached python script (it requires python and python-polib) might
get you closer by automatically translating some very common strings.

So you have to change these lines:

regexps.append([re.compile('English regexp'), 'Translate string'])

#1, #2 etc. are replaced by the content of the matches in the English
regexp.

I don't know if you'll use it, but I hope it will be of some help to
you. Good luck with the translation!
