Hi Erko,
there is a way, and easy one!

I'm inviting you to use http://tradu.softwareliber.ro/
which is powered by http://code.google.com/p/narro/wiki/About

It's a localization application which so far si doing everything we
want, and we want mostly what you described above.

So far tradu.softwareliber.ro extracts the po from wordpress svn,
imports it into database, updates the db preserving unchanged stuff, and
gives you an easy to use and full featured web interface to make you
translations. The narro project which powers tradu (from Romanian,
translate), is an Open Source application opened for everyone to use.

Currently we're are already maintaining the Romanian WordPress
translation, so all you have to do to join us, is register for an
account and ask for maintainer access. The maintainers usually are
validating the translated strings and are making the imports and exports
of the updated po's. Once got there, you will be able to import already
existing translation to the project, and then just maintain it.

Looking for you to join us.

Hope it will be useful to you.
Good luck.
