We didn't change model formats so should be possible. Check the ufo scripts, models are usually scripted.

The *msgid:inter_saracen_txt like entries are defined in base/ufos/msgid/*.ufo files which are the source files for long text.

To translate we use the gettext lib, and the language files are in src/po/ (*.po). Use poedit tool for translating!

To update the po files from the program source code (check for new/changed translatable entries) we have a make target: make update-po. It works well if you have the Git sourcecode checked out (on source package or just the installed version probably it won't do good job).

Thanks. If i do it, what about the maps with the Firebird? I mean, if i drop my soldiers using the Saracen-D (my mod  ;D), the map will show the firebird? or it will crash? I don´twant to do the saracen design on the map.

In 2.5 the map assembler will use the id of the aircraft for the "dropship tile" ( aircraft <id> { <data...> } ). For crashed aircraft the code has a few constants (none for saracen)
