No problem, I can try to help you to integrate whatever you come up with as time permits. I don't think you'd need to mess with autostuff though. As a first approximation, I suppose the output could be two shell scripts: - one would take the "reference" (English) man page template (man.x.in), and convert it to a pot-file using the po4a tool with correct settings - another one would take the translated po-file, and convert it back into a man.x.in file, which would be suitable to generate the help files On top of that we can build some automation to synchronize them back and forth with Transifex, but this can come later. The essential, as I understood is that there is some problem with po4a related to roff formatting such that man -> po -> man files currently can't be used with the help generator. Do you already have an account on Transifex? If yes, I can tell you the commands to fetch all the translated files so far, so that you can experiment with real stuff. > I'll do some experiments in these days and post here the results...
