Obviously this is only an example of what I meant to say, it could be incorrect or not clear; I'm not a native English speaker so please do what you think is better. > Anyway it seems to me ok, good work, very useful... I spotted another passage: "  What about the other translation tools for documentation using gettext?  As far as I know, there are only two of them: " I would say: There are a few of them. Here is a possibly incomplete list:  poxml  [...]  po-debiandoc  [...]  xml2po.py Used by the GIMP Documentation Team since 2004, works quite well even if, as the name suggests, only with XML files and needs specially configured makefiles.  sphinx The Sphinx Documentation Project (https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/advanced/intl.html) also uses extensively gettext to manage its translations. Unfortunately, it works only for a few text formats, rest and markdown, although it is perhaps the only tool that does this managing the whole translation process. ...and more tools are coming at the horizon...
