[ros-translate] Proposed XML-format of the per language dictionary

[Robert Köpferl]

We don't want it as XML. What is XML?
Do it as the good old well known and approved RDMBS. Wheas, we don't 
really need the R, but it's nice to have.

I'd suggest a Base of well known and the needed phrases and their 
translation. Since we have the R in RDBMS, we can use a table for each 
language and connect these tables via an 1:1 reference. This is good for 
atuomatisms (scripts) and an easy SQL-statement is enough to either 
retrieve the actual translation or the default (eng.) translation.

How 's this made with XML?
Who wirtes the appropriate parser?
Who cares about integrity?
How does it scale (22000 Entries)?
