Use a text formating tool to extract the words. I used to do it using C
but found out a better way to do it; Perl.

Grab a po file and 'vi' it. Apart from the header, you will see the file is

msgstr "Some translation".

Initial work was done by Nadim, my guess was used to create the po files.
If you have a URL for a source dictionary in mind please pass it to me. Let
me see what I can do with it.
