hi,
I'm trying to translation po4a to Simplified Chinese, and there is a small
question when I do the work. I could not get the meaning of this sentence:
The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more
interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on areas
where they were not expected like documentation.
What does "where they were not expected like documentation" ? Does it mean
gettext tools are not good at documentation translation? I don't usually
meet this, so I'm so familiar with it.
Hello,
Yes, this is exactly what we had in mind: gettext has been designed to
internationalize programs, and does it very well, but it does not
support natively documentation formats.
