Pootle and translation toolkit require python 2.4. SME 7.3 come with python 2.3 configured to run yum and other system utilities. Then you must install python 2.4 '''without affecting the original python 2.3'''

Because python 2.4 installation will set as default, you must install in one step all rpms, before yum stop working. Don't worry about that. New python 2.4 come with a dependency package named "alternatives". With alternatives you can set the default python will system be use. For this installation, will we not utilize alternatives, and will we restore the original links. If you know a better way to use alternatives and make python 2.3 as default, and 2.4 automatic, please share with us.

If you run python at command line, you will see version 2.4, and you can't use yum anymore, because yum is installed under python 2.3

Pootle is a very good tool to make translations for po files, and with a little configuration, you can translate between various file formats. I think it is usesful for implement at contribs.org for make translations more easily, with all the community online. Also formmagick panels.
