I just notices that there is a file /bibletime-doc/docs/de/OldPOfiles . 
This will do the same thing that I mentioned in my last mail.  It might
be useful to name these OldPOFiles with the bibletime version number
they support.  For example OldPOFiles-1.2 to indicate which version they
support.  Or perhaps placing this information in a read me.
