[Kbabel] Dictionary / Glossary

Dear list members,

Going through this list's archive, I've found several topics regarding 
requests for some kind of Translation Database browsing feature.
I have a bunch of PO files and I have let the Translation Database to 
scan them all in order to build the database. As I'm not that much 
experienced Linux programmer nor do I'm familiar with the Berkeley DB, I 
wonder if there's a solution that I'm looking for. What I want is to 
extract the content out of the generated .db files and build some kind 
of a glossary that I've been using throughout all PO files. The main 
idea is to have a original, english word on the one side while on the 
other side I'd like to have the matching word in my native language, 
that I've used during the translation and localiyation. The reason I 
want to do this is to try to build a dictionary that I've been using in 
order to eliminate any inconsistency in terms used. I'm aware of the 
fact that in some cases I've been using different translations for the 
same english terms and by this I'd like to correct all those 
differencies; on the other hand, it would be useful for me to have a 
list of english termns and all of the matching translations I've used in 
order to choose the one I think it's the most appropriate.

Any help would be appreciated! If someone knows how to extract the raw 
content out of the .db files and to put it in .txt of some sort that 
would let me arrange it later on, that would be great!

Thank you all in advance!

Best regards,
Miroslav Tomic
