Simplified Chinese translation for po4a
by hottea
hi,
dear all.
I'm not sure if I have join this mail list. I don't know how to join as there isn't a how-to on the website. I hope you can receive my email.
I found po4a when doing some translation, and found that there's not a complete Simplified Chinese translation for po4a, so I do the work. I create a project on transifex, a localization platform, see www.transifex.com/projects/p/po4a-translation. I wonder how could I see the final result? Where are the translation installed?
If you're interested in the Simplified Chinese translation for po4a, please join the language team on transifex.com, you can also request language on transifex.

Re: [Po4a-devel] Bug#827936: po4a: please implement support for Ruby document format
by Martin Quinson
Hello,
the truth is that the development of po4a is kinda stopped since a few
years. We do the basic maintainance, like reviewing and applying
proposed patches (with some delays), but I don't manage to devote any
time to the new wanted features myself. I'm sorry about that, but this
is a fact.
As a result, I think that you should develop this module yourself. I
understand that Perl will make your brain burn as a Ruby programmer,
but at the end, developping a new module for po4a is very easy. And I
can guide you in this process if you go that way.
Check the doc on writing a new module, here:
man Locale::Po4a::TransTractor
I think that this is a good idea to keep both the upstream list and
the debian bug in CC while discussing it. It will ensure both a good
diffusion and a good archiving of the discussions.
Good luck, Mt.

Help with po4a on Ruby Document format
by Francesco Poli
Hello!
First off, thanks for developing po4a, which looks like a very useful
tool for i18n of non-programmatic works!
I am the current maintainer of apt-listbugs [1].
[1] https://packages.debian.org/sid/apt-listbugs
I am trying to use po4a in order to internationalize the man page,
which is written in Ruby Document format.
The source for the man page (in Ruby Document format, as I said) may be
seen on the public git repository [2], embedded in the program code
(between =begin and =end markers).
[2] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt-listbugs/apt-listbugs.git/tree/bin/ap...
Unfortunately, the Ruby document format [3] does not seem to be
directly supported by po4a. Could you please confirm that?
Maybe I should file a wishlist bug report against po4a, requesting the
support for this format...
[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Document_format
Anyway, I was hoping that the POD format [4] could be similar enough,
and I tried with:
$ po4a-gettextize -f pod -m apt-listbugs -p doc-apt-listbugs.pot
[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Documentation
I encountered a number of issues.
First of all, the processing did not stop at the =end marker and I
found all the program code at the end of the .pot file.
I tried to work around this with:
$ sed '/^=end$/q' apt-listbugs | po4a-gettextize -f pod -m - -p doc-apt-listbugs.pot
but it turns out that po4a is not able to process standard input [5].
I hope this feature may be implemented soon.
[5] https://bugs.debian.org/378625
Then I tried to use a temporary file:
$ sed '/^=end$/q' apt-listbugs > apt-listbugs.rd
$ po4a-gettextize -f pod -m apt-listbugs.rd -p doc-apt-listbugs.pot
$ rm -f apt-listbugs.rd
Maybe I should permanently separate out the man page source from the
program code, but I like the fact that it is embedded in the script...
Another issue is that I see that several text blocks are incorrectly
treated as verbatim blocks, just because they are indented. The first
such block is "Print usage help and exit".
Once again, this is probably caused by the lack of direct support for
the Ruby Document format and by the slightly different syntax of POD...
I can try and see whether I can modify the man page source, so that
those blocks are not indented (hoping that the generated man page does
not change too much), but I am beginning to suspect that I am getting
things wrong.
Could you please suggest a better strategy?
Please let me know.
Thanks for your time and for any help you may provide.

project version update strings
by Marco Ciampa
Hi all,
I would like to start helping po4a a bit and just noted that:
* po4a irc channel reports a very old version as news (and I am not irc op).
I may fix it if someone makes me op. I swear I am not going to do some harm ...
:-)
* similarly the project web pages report version 0.45 as last version
* here and there there are other incongruences like:
- META.json report version 0.46
it is enough for now...
