That's about the compendium files created by translation.php script, is'nt it?
I thought that was an optional feature, not a must. And, even being a must, 
that translation.php didn't work in my solaris box.
There is still a horde/docs/TRANSLATIONS file with the old documentation about 
translations. That file helped me to mess up the teory. :-)
Correct me if wrong: To manually update translations in my solaris box, from 
now on is simply:

- cat horde.po >> application.po
- msgfmt -v -o ../locale/[language]/LC_MESSAGES/application.mo application.po
