Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1887:
----------------------------------
http://www.icanlocalize.com/site/tutorials/how-to-translate-with-gettext-po-and-pot-files/
seems a good introduction to these formats, for those new to it all
{{text/x-gettext-translation}} and {{text/x-po}} seem to be moderately widely
used for these already, so it might be good to use the former and set the
latter as an alias, rather than inventing our own. (We also shouldn't use
{{text/po}} as it isn't officially assigned, so would need an x- prefix to
indicate this)
> Add new mimetype for file extensions .po

> Hi,
> While analyzing the Trec DD polar data, we came across files that were
> classified as octet-stream.
> On using content based algorithms such as BFA, BFCC and FHT we were able to
> determine more magic bytes for certain files.
> The GNU gettext toolset is used by programmers and translators at producing,
> updating and using translation files, mainly those PO files which are
> textual, editable files.
> We suggest a new mimetype as text/po to be added to the existing mime
> repository of Tika.
