[Plone-i18n] Translating CMFMember, best practices

[David C. <dav...@na...>]

I prefer to send this to the i18n list as it can be of more general 
interest than just CMFMember development.

I am in the process of upgrading the .pot file for cmfmember.
So, I moved all messages that are not considered as valid by i18ndude 
from the cmfmember-plone.pot file to a manual.pot file.
Then I added to the manual.pot all the msgids that are stated in 
archetypes schemas.
No problem so far..

Now I realize that many messages from both the generated .pot file and 
the manual.pot file are already translated in plone.
This is normal as cmfmember adds a layer to Plone and uses the same UI 
for some templates.

My question is: What should I do with those already translated msgids?
1. Keep them untranslated in the .pot files (problem could be that 
translators will translate them as they see them empty)?
2. Move them to some other file to keep info on them?
3. Or remove them from the files, so that at synchronisation time they 
don't appear in the *.po files and don't get translated by individual 
translators?

Thx in advance for any help on that particular case
