As I said, no worries :)

Thanks, good to hear that is useful. Since then, I added a couple of
features that I thought would be interesting for translators:

* If an Internet connection is present, the results for each set of
matches will tell you the exact template URL in Launchpad
* It's easy to use for 90% of the cases, i.e. no need to remember
arguments unless looking for something special: '$ translations-search
stringimlookingfor'
* The search tool can use Python regular expressions for more complex needs

The code is pretty simple thanks to the use of polib, so if anyone has
got more ideas that could be implemented, I'll be happy to hear them!

Cheers,
David.
