you need to maintain the same or shorter length for the strings... not practical.

Yeah, that's clearly not possible.
I should inform you about one thing.
A couple of months ago an user from vg-resource wrote me two little tools which extract the text contained in msg files.
The first one creates from every msg file 6 new files in .po format, each one for a different language. Basically, the output looks like this:

msg0_en_US
msg0_fr_FR
msg0_ja_JP
msg0_ko_KR
msg0_zh_CN
msg0_zh_HK

msg1_en_US
...and so on, for a total of 96 files.

The second one, a revised version of the first one, extracts everything grouping in just 6 .po files, each one for a different language. Also, it excludes duplicate strings (not something that i like particularly, since language expressions mutate despite of the way words are written). Output structure:

msg_en_US
msg_fr_FR
msg_ja_JP
msg_ko_KR
msg_zh_CN
msg_zh_HK

Problem is that he refused to write the reimporting tool, without reasons, so i got screwed.
Anyway, i might still have those tools on a disc, they are simple exes. I don't know, could those help you in some way?
I can provide these tools for you in private, if you think that would be helpful. Let me know.

Sorry, I only work on the extraction of the files and sometimes on text files if the format is clear and easy to dump.
That's all from my side.

Hi there, friend.
I'm programmer and am interested on this topic.
I started writing my own tool for extracting-reimporting just now. For if you're still interested...
