Sorry Alan,

You are a bit long in the tooth to get credit for this task, but if
you would like to help mentor and assess it, that would be welcome :-)

As mentioned on the ticket, extracting the strings is only one
element, substituting them back in is another key element, doing both
via commonly usedi18n formats (ideally PO file) really begins to bring
it all together.

Criteria for most useful tools:

 1)   Capable of pulling test out of SVG images. (minimal)

  2)  Capable of #1 and also replacing that text with alternative
text. (getting warmer).

  3)  Capable of #1 and #2 and uses common translation file format
(e.g .PO file) as output/input source. (nearly ideal solution).
