Package: po4a Version: 0.69-1 Severity: wishlist Some time ago several po4a tools started emitting warnings and ceased working as before. I read that "po4a" is the way to go, however, we seriously lack the man power (and knowledge) to rewrite the entire machinery. However, I'm gradully trying to improve the system where and when possible.
For this, I have the follwing question/request:
Given that I have a man page (in nroff or mdoc format) and I want to
create a pot file from it (not po file, as this page is not yet
translated). How is this done best/correctly?
Quite a few explanations in the po4a man pages assume you already have
some translated text.
Currently I use something like:
po4a-updatepo -f man \
--option groff_code=verbatim \
--option generated \
--option untranslated="a.RE,\|" \
--option unknown_macros=untranslated \
--master "$upstream_manpage" -M utf-8 \
-p $tmp1 | grep -v "po4a-updatepo is deprecated. The unified po4a(1)
program is more convenient and less error prone."
(Until very recently this used po4a-gettextize, but this stopped working)
It would be great if you could document the proper solution in the
very well written and extensive documentation.
