NAME

6       po4a-updatepo - update the translation (in po format) of documentation
7

SYNOPSIS

9       po4a-updatepo -f <fmt> (-m <master.doc>)+ (-p <XX.po>)+
10
11       (XX.po are the outputs, all others are inputs)

DESCRIPTION

14       The po4a (po for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
15       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
16       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.
17
18       The "po4a-updatepo" script is in charge of updating po files to make
19       them reflect the changes made to the original documentation file. For
20       that, it converts the documentation file to a pot file, and call msg‐
21       merge(1) on this new pot and on the provided po files.
22
23       It is possible to give more than one po file (if you want to update
24       several languages at once), and several documentation files (if you
25       want to store the translations of several documents in the same po
26       file).
27
28       If the master document has non-ascii characters, it will convert the po
29       files to utf-8 (if they weren't already), in order to allow non-stan‐
30       dard characters in a culture independent way.
