Hi Nguyen,

You may try "po2sgml".  It tells you how long it takes to translate a
file based on 250 words/hour.  You can change this number easily with
"--rate=x" option.

Hope this helps.

$ rpm -qf `which po2sgml`
perl-SGML-Translate-0.37-3

$ po2sgml --report ~/cvs/translate/sos/ja.po
/home/ccheng/cvs/translate/sos/ja.po: 294/294 translated words (100.00%)
total: 294/294 translated words (100.00%)
total: 0.00 untranslated hours, 0.00 remaining hours

Chester
