Actually, this wizard is implemented in the 'base' module (i.e. part of
the openobject-server), the clients only "render" it, like any other
view or wizard coming for the OpenERP Addons.
Therefore the logic for exporting the PO files is only present in the
server code, and needs to be changed only there.
Sorry if that was not clear in my previous comment.

Mind you, OpenERP's import/export wizard does not really have any
"merge" feature, so I suppose you will need external gettext utils anyway.

But that's a good point, we'll also need to make sure that importing a
PO/CSV file with untranslated terms won't empty the existing
translations even if the "override" flag was checked.
