Thanks for such a quick response on a sunday evening... I saw that and tried this. Maybe I just don't have the right syntax?? (also added the options to po4a-gettextize)

if ! po4a-updatepo \ --format asciidoc --option debu tablecells \ --master "$file" \ --master-charset "UTF-8" \ --copyright-holder "$ME" \ --package-name "$PACKAGE" \ --package-version "$VERSION" \ --verbose \ --po "$po_file" ; then echo "" echo "Error updating $lang PO file for: $file" else

A sample table I have is like: [width="100%",cols="2,8",frame="topbot",options="none",stripe="even"] |=== |Yet|Une action qui ne s'est pas produit jusqu'au présent. (encore) |Still|Une action qui continue à se produire, qui n'est jamais arrétée. |Again|Une action discontinue qui reprend. |Even|Nuancé avec 'still'|Une chose qui s'est arrétée/épuisée, mais il y en |aura...|(encore !) |Yet again|Une action discontinue qui reprend au moins une fois mais probablement |plus. |===
