the man pages of po4a themselves are written in POD, as most of the

documentation, so yes, we have some experience here.
But I'm wondering why you try to translate the manpage produced by POD (a file
in groff format) instead of trying to translate the pod file directly. I guess
that translating the source files is always better than translating something
that was generated.
Or maybe there is something that I misuderstand?

In manpage-l10n we always download the man pages available from the
various distributions, create po files from them and use these as
basis for the translation. So we actually don't know in general how
the man page was generated: From help2man, written in groff/nroff, in
docbook, markdown, pod, ..
Simply put: We don't have the source available.
