I give a try to pootle on my computer. Some pro & some cons when 
compared to kartouche.

The main pro being, imho, that it has recent version where kartouche is 
old & seems unmaintained. I did some hack on kartouche to add features, 
send a mail to the project leader, but got no answer.

Another pro for pootle : seems to be happy with any char encoding where 
kartouche is 1 only (unicode by default, i changed it to iso8859-1 for 
french translation)

A big pro for kartouche (according to me) : it's written in PHP, that I 
know, while pootle is in python that i don't know at all

Note also i have some problems with kartouche :
* when importing > exporting .po files, I sometimes get differences 
between original version & imported > exported one
* it seems kartouche don't handle fuzzy

Let's continue investigating.
