then i do not see the problem. You just have to prepare initial .po  
files  for you language as described in paper on translation.

 From my experience - to make the work easier  I am making a copy of  
directory tree containing locales in interest by running such command  
(after the initialization of locale for all modules present, if  
applicable):

#!/bin/sh
find . -type d -name 'lv' -print |xargs -I xx cp -R xx --parents -t  
./horde_git_lv

(lv - my locale)
after it i advice to sweep up existing .mo files in the copy of  
locale-tree by running

find . -type f -name *.mo -exec rm -rf {} \;

on it.

In such way I am getting "vanilla" copy of my locale to work with.  
After translation you can copy whole tree over horde installation,  
compile .mo files and it is also a lot easier to submit such tree in  
archive to developers for inclusion.
