Hello Jean-Yves,
Moving the discussion to the po4a mailing list, so that I can announce the
new BibTeX module.

The module basically works (attached, the PO and the generated file when
the PO is not translated, for a bibliography given by Martin:
http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/biblio/Biblio/complete-bibliography.bib)
First there are some questions about the validity of the module.
* Something like:
| title = {foo bar ... baz},
Could generate:
| title = {foo bar ...
| ... baz},
Is it still valid, or should I ensure that it stay in one line?
* Same question for:
| title = "foo bar ... baz",
and
| title = foo bar ... baz,
* What does:
| month = {3-8} # apr,
means? Is it a comment?
Is it the same for the next line?
| month = apr # "4",
There is also some possible future improvements:
* Mark some fields as not translatable (e.g. the 'key' field, 'page' in
some languages, 'ISBN' and 'ISSN', etc.)
* Add an input or output character translation table (e.g. to avoid stuff
like {\'e} in the PO's msgid, or to allow users to use accentuated
characters in the PO's msgstr while still generating escaped chars

It works. You can also send them to the po4a-devel mailing list (CCed), so
that somebody else can commit/review it.

Committed. Thanks!

I will add the parameter if an user wants it.

It's scheduled for the next release. I don't know when since we just made
a release. If you have any requirement for that, just say so.
Regarding the module:
* I will commit the attached patch (I don't think Pod::Parser is used).
* Is it possible to have multilines strings in .INI files?
Kind Regards,

I think we both read this list, but po4a-devel(a)lists.alioth.debian.org
is probably more suitable.

If you're using fink, there is a module-build-pm package.
I unfortunately destroyed my MacOS installation, so I won't be able to
test soon.
I don't know how to install perl modules on macos.
Module::Build is common module and can be installed with CPAN.
Hope this helps,

Another issue with po4a-gettextsize: verbatim environments are mangled
by David MENTRE
Hello,
While trying po4a on a more complex Latex document, I faced following
issue.
In my master document ../en/hoo.tex, I have:
% po4a: environment codesample2
% po4a: environment codesample4
In my document hook.tex, I have verbatim-like environments like that :
\begin{codesample2}
[hooks]
commit.example = python:mymodule.submodule.myhook
\end{codesample2}
However, after applying po4a-gettextize:
po4a-gettextize -f latex -m ../en/hook.tex -M utf8 -l hook.tex -L utf8 \
-p hook.po -o verbatim=codesample2 -o verbatim=codesample4
I get following content in hook.po:
# type: codesample2
#: ../en/hook.tex:402
#, fuzzy
msgid "[hooks] commit.example = python:mymodule.submodule.myhook"
msgstr "[hooks] commit.example = python:mymodule.submodule.myhook"
You'll notice that linefeeds and spaces are mangled. Is there a way to
avoid that (while still keep those lines in the .po for eventual
translation)?
Best wishes,
david

Issue with po4a-gettextize and verbatim option
by David MENTRE
Hello,
I'm trying to apply po4a on a LaTeX document. poa4-gettextize fails to
generate .po files because it does not understand a document-defined
environment, codesample2, even if I use the "-o verbatim=codesample2"
option.
I'm using following command line:
PERLLIB=~/pub/book/po4a-0.27.2/lib ~/pub/book/po4a-0.27.2/po4a-gettextize -f latex -m daily.tex -p daily.po -o verbatim=codesample2
I get following error message:
daily.tex:15: (po4a::tex)
unknown environment: 'codesample2'
Am I using badly the command line?
I attach the failing latex file, daily.tex. For information, the
codesample2 environment is defined in another file of the latex document
as:
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{codesample2}{Verbatim}{frame=single,gobble=2,numbers=left,commandchars=\\\{\}}
Best wishes,
david
PS: The man page locale::po4a::latex should say that LaTeX modules
inherits options from TeX module.
