You need translate-toolkit
(http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/index).
Create pot files from en-US.sdf:
$ oo2po -P workdir/unxlngi6.pro/CustomTarget/translations/translate/sdf-template/en-US.sdf
workdir/unxlngi6.pro/CustomTarget/translations/translate/pot
Then update languages, e.g.
$ cd translations/source/
$ for in de fr it;do pomigrate2 $i $i.new
workdir/unxlngi6.pro/CustomTarget/translations/translate/pot;rm -rf
$i;mv $i.new $i;done

That should work for local testing purposes.
