Hi Frans, this French translation was managed with po-debiandoc for woody. In a nl subdirectory, you can run $ debiandoc2pot ../en/release-notes.en.sgml > release-notes.pot Then work as usual with your PO file, and eventually run $ po2debiandoc ../en/release-notes.en.sgml release-notes.nl.po > release-notes.nl.sgml to generate the translated document. This is not automatic because I did not want to add a build dependency against po-debiandoc. Please note that po4a is going to supersede po-debiandoc, but I did not yet check if the SGML module can be used on this document. And remember to checkout the sarge branch ;) Denis
