Basically, I want to support you, either for the use of po4a or for the French translation. regarding po4a, I recommend importing the original perl documentation in the CVS (this way you indicate the versions you support for the translation), then create a po4a config file or some scripts that call po4a-gettextize/po4a-trabslate (I don't know what will be the most efficient way; The specific part of the Perl docuemntation is that there are a lot of files). You will also have to see whether you support the translation of multiple versions of the documentation at the same time. Having scripts that extract the specific part of some versions and the common parts is not an issue (I'm talking about that because some translators may want to only translate/focus on one specific version). A CVS repository could look like: / upstream version1 version2 ... po4a Makefile/po4a config file po/ add_<lang1> (directory for the addenda) add_<lang2> ... translations <lang1>/...empty directory for the generated translation... (I'm not sure keeping the translations in the repository is a good idea) ... Instead of the po directory, you could also have something like: po/common (strings that appear in at least two versions) /version1 (strings that only appear in version1) /version2 ... (This is a first thought. I'm CCing the po4a development list in case somebody have another idea) My available time will be quite short this week. It should be better with the week-end.
