Hi Alexander,

please correct me (or the readme.rst ;-) ) if I'm wrong, but my idea was 
that these were not sufficient anymore?

Because of the using of common images, copying of language specific 
images etc etc, the proces got slightly more complex, reflected in the 
pre_translate.sh script

So to update po files (which is either msgmerge OR create a new one) 
for your language do (from within /pGIS-Documentation dir):

./scripts/pre_translate.sh nl

(if you only want to create nl po/translation files, without language 
code we create for po files for all current translations)

About the resolving of conflicts: I think these are always git related, 
which cannot be easily resolved script wise? Though Tim pointed to 
https://github.com/AIFDR/inasafe/blob/documentation-translation/scripts/update-strings.sh 
in which apparently there is some magic for this??

Regards,

Richard
