[Po4a-devel] po4a-translate is skipping all translations

Hi, I'm trying to use po4a to manage Spanish translations of roxterm's man pages (generated from Docbook/XML), but I can't get it to work properly because po4a-translate translates 0% of the strings. Originally the translator produced an XML file before we knew about po4a, so I used po4a-gettextize to produce a .po file, which appeared to work perfectly. But I can't get po4a-translate to produce a translated XML file from it. I tried -v which didn't print any extra info at all, and then -d which printed this: ~/roxterm/po4a $ po4a-translate -d -v -f docbook -m ../roxterm.1.xml.in -p roxterm.1.es.po -l roxterm.1.es.xml.in readpo(roxterm.1.es.po)... done. read(../roxterm.1.xml.in)...done. parse...../roxterm.1.xml.in:47: (po4a::xml) Content of tag <refentry> excluded: <placeholder type="refentryinfo" id="0"/> ../roxterm.1.xml.in:62: (po4a::xml) Content of tag <refentry><refmeta> excluded: &dhucpackage; &dhsection; ../roxterm.1.xml.in:64: (po4a::xml) Content of attribute <refentry><refmeta><refmiscinfo>class excluded: source ../roxterm.1.xml.in:65: (po4a::xml) Content of attribute <refentry><refmeta><refmiscinfo>class excluded: version ../roxterm.1.xml.in:66: (po4a::xml) Content of attribute <refentry><refmeta><refmiscinfo>class excluded: manual ../roxterm.1.xml.in:74: (po4a::xml) Content of tag <refentry><refsynopsisdiv> excluded: <placeholder type="cmdsynopsis" id="0"/> ../roxterm.1.xml.in:125: (po4a::xml) Content of tag <refentry><refsect1> excluded: <placeholder type="variablelist" id="0"/> done. Discard the translation of ../roxterm.1.xml.in (only 0% translated; need 80%). Surely that shouldn't be enough to make it give up entirely? I haven't subscribed to the list so please Cc all replies to me or let me know if I should subscribe. And I expect it would help if you see the XML and .po files, but I wasn't sure whether it's OK to post attachments here, so please let me know. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
