6 Locale::Po4a::Docbook - convert DocBook XML documents from/to PO files
7
9 The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
10 more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
11 tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.
12
13 Locale::Po4a::Docbook is a module to help the translation of DocBook
14 XML documents into other [human] languages.
15
17 This module is fully functional, as it relies in the Locale::Po4a::Xml
18 module. This only defines the translatable tags and attributes.
19
20 The only known issue is that it doesn't handle entities yet, and this
21 includes the file inclusion entities, but you can translate most of
22 those files alone (except the typical entities files), and it's usually
23 better to maintain them separated.
24
26 The default behavior of system provided modules is set to be on the
27 safe side.
28
29 For example, the default of <author> tag is aiming it to appear under
30 <para>. But you may be using it only under <bookinfo>. For this case,
31 you may want to translate it independently for each author.
32
33 If you don't like the default behavior of the xml module and its
34 derivative modules, you can provide command line options to change
35 their behavior. For example, you can add the following to the po4a
36 configuration file:
37
38 opt:"-k 0 -o nodefault=\"<bookinfo> <author>\" \
39 -o break=\"<bookinfo> <author>\" \
40 -o untranslated=\"<bookinfo>\" \
41 -o translated=\"<author>\""
42
43 This overrides the default behavior for <bookinfo> and <author>, set
44 <bookinfo> and <author> to break input data stream on these tags, set
45 <bookinfo> not to translate its tagged content, and set <author> to
46 translate its tagged content.
