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

dispo de jour car il bosse, mais les soirs, c'est différent.
Comme ca, on pourra discuter de ce qui existe déjà, et de ce que tu
souhaites vraiment avoir.
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
Kind Regards,
