Hi Karam, 

thank you for your work on this. I hope it works out and we can make this available for other languages soon too :)

Hi Frédéric ,

OK
I will start with this 

by generating the 3.8 .pot file and the .po (for Arabic right now to test ) 

and will give you feedback about this :)

Nothing hasn't been done yet in this direction. We have to validate that
this workflow just works for us, test it, and document it. Things to do
(at least):

- A .pot file must be generated from DocBook XML file
- One, or several, .po files must be generated from .pot file
- After translation, a translated XML DocBook file must be generated
  from .po file, and original English DocBook
- After original DocBook updates, a merging mechanism must allow to
  update .pot file, and .po files

Who will do that job? You? the documentation manager? the translation
manager?  From my perspective, you are the best suited to start this
project since you will be the first to benefit from its results. If this
workflow proves to work for you, I'm sure the community will embrace it
with enthusiasm and gratitude.

Kind regards,
