 2) '''Building a spreadsheet for translators''' :- The strings retreived from the previous step will be converted to .csv format. This spreadsheet would then be available to translators for translating (along with location and comments for each string, if any). For this, first the translate-toolkit will be used to study the required format of .csv file  and then using the xlwt library of python, the spreadsheet will be created. The current web2py language file will be checked for existing translations. If any string is already translated, its translation will be fetched into the spreadsheet so that the translator need not translate it again. This also gives the translator an option to overwrite the existing translation with something more appropriate.
+(Also, instead of spreadsheet, the user can choose to download a pootle file containing the same information as the spreadsheet).
 
 3) '''Converting back the spreadsheet into web2py''' :- Once the translations are made, the .csv files contained the translations are to be merged back into web2py format. For this a couple of options will be available - i) Merge the new translations with existing ones ii) Replace the old .py file with the new one. Also, the translations may be present in several .csv files and so we need to merge all these files first before converting them into web2py format.
