Welcome, Jan! And thanks for joining us.

Uhm, I really don't know. I'd say yes, but I'm not sure the results  
are fully predictable.
Anyway, you should need XCode 2.5 (basically for its version of  
Interface Builder) only later in the process, when you open the  
translated .nib files to adjust the position of the translated strings.

Although I'm not 100% sure, you can go on and work without XC2.5 and  
expect your work to be kept after you install it.

Thanks.
Ciao.
