If we would use some standard, easy to manage formate, we could easily
manipulate it. My proposal would b something like this:

<translateword>
<word language="english">you</word>
<word language="dutch">jij</word>
<word language="german">du</word>
</translateword>

since this is extendable. We could for instance make to files
seperately:

<translateword>
<word language="english">you</word>
<word language="dutch">jij</word>
</translateword>

<translateword>
<word language="english">you</word>
<word language="german">du</word>
</translateword>

and merge them. We'd need an easy xml editor though.
