I emailed Asgeir an example file, but for reference here is the 
discussion on the gettext list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6989141
And an example file (served dynamically from Pootle :-)):
http://pootle.wordforge.org/de/openoffice/basctl/source/dlged.po
with one sample entry:

#: dlgresid.src#RID_STR_BRWTITLE_PROPERTIES.string.text
msgid "Properties: "
msgstr "Eigenschaften: "
