Appreciated the suggestion on po4a.  I had just run across this via https://jibecfed.fedorapeople.org/blog-hugo/en/2018/11/translation-automation-with-po4a/ and never realized I could use poedit etc for my blog posts and various stuff.

I seem to have things working ok although a few things to work out.

One question...   Since I am using asciidoc(tor), I am starting to get used to the one-sentence-per line paradigm. I notice in the man pages that po4a-translate does have a --width option.   But using po4a binary direct I have not been able to get an output that does not have text wrapped.  

It's not a deal breaker of course.  But is there any way to coerce po4a to keep my source file format in the translation?

Thanks for such an awesome utility!

Hello,

I would say that you want to use quotes around the content passed to --option. Something like --option "debut tablecells". But I'm not sure.

The easier would certainly be to change to po4a(1) binary instead of using po4a-updatepo and friends.

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.

I think you're looking for the 'tablecells' option of this parser,
aren't you?
