Hello Nekral,
Thanks for the quick reply.
.strings format files are generally used when localizing OS X applications.
They are UTF-16 (with BOM and Unix line endings) encoded text files that
include the source and translated strings.
Here is an example of Alerts.strings file from localization package of an
application called Cyberduck:
/* NSButton (Cancel) : <title:Cancel> (oid:9) */
"Cancel" = "Cancel";
/* NSTextField (Failures) : <title:Failures> (oid:12) */
"Failures" = "Failures";
/* NSButton (Network Diagnostics) : <title:Network Diagnostics> (oid:71) */
"Network Diagnostics" = "Network Diagnostics";
These sites provide additional information about the strings format:

What kind of information is needed for po4a in order to be able to support
the format?
Thanks.

I do not know this format, so I don't know if there is a close enough
format supported by po4a.
Do you have links which describe the format?
I also guess nobody is currently working in supporting the .strings
format.
