PROGRAM:

NAME


po4a-gettextize - convert an original file (and its translation) to a PO file

SYNOPSIS


po4a-gettextize -f fmt -m master.doc [-l XX.doc] -p XX.po

(XX.po is the output, all others are inputs)

DESCRIPTION


The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly,
the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on areas where they were not expected
like documentation.

The po4a-gettextize script is in charge of converting documentation files to PO files. If
you start a new translation, po4a-gettextize will extract the translatable strings from
the documentation file and write a POT file from it.

If you already have a translated file, po4a-gettextize will try to extract the
translations it contains and put them in place in the written PO file. Be warned that very
few intelligence is used in this process: the Nth string of the translated file is
supposed to be the translation of the Nth string in the original. If it's not the case,
you're dead. That's why it is very important that both files share exactly the same
structure.

However, po4a-gettextize will diagnose your death by detecting any desynchronisation
between files, and reporting where they occur. In that case, you should edit manually the
files to solve the reported disparity. Even if no error were reported, you should check
carefully that the generated PO file is correct (i.e. that each msgstr is the translation
of the associated msgid, and not the one before or after).

Even if the script manages to do its job without any apparent problem, it still marks all
extracted translations as fuzzy, to make sure that the translator will have a look at
them, and detect any remaining problem.

If the master document has non-ASCII characters, the new generated PO file will be in
UTF-8, in order to allow non-standard characters in a culture independent way. Else (if
the master document is completely in ASCII), the generated PO will use the encoding of the
translated input document.
