-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello po4a dev team, I have a question about po4a-gettextize and I hope I’m right here on the dev list with my normal user question. :-) I’m a member of the Ubuntu Manual team [1] and we use po4a for managing the translation of the manual. We use XeLaTeX for writing the manual and so we have to deal with some tex commands in the translation pot file. Ok, I have a small example document to illustrate my question: ======minimal.tex============================================= \documentclass{article} \newcommand{\mycommand}{foo bar} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \section{Hello World!} \mycommand \end{document} ============================================================== If I now use po4a-gettextize to create a pot file $ po4a-gettextize -f latex -m minimal.tex -p minimal.pot I get the following output ======minimal.pot============================================= [... header of pot file] #. type: newcommand{#4} #: minimal.tex:7 msgid "foo bar" msgstr "" #. type: section{#2} #: minimal.tex:7 msgid "Hello World!" msgstr "" #. type: document #: minimal.tex:7 msgid "\\mycommand" msgstr "" ============================================================== I see, that all known LaTeX commands are ignored by po4a (like \tableofcontents) and only the real content which need a translation is there. So, how can I teach po4a with my own commands which should be ignored by po4a (like \mycommand)? I found the definition file of all latex commands (/usr/share/perl5/Locale/Po4a/LaTeX.pm) and I had a look to the man page of po4a-gettextize. But I do not see a possibility to give my own definition file to the po4a run like something like that: $ po4a-gettextize -f latex -m minimal.tex -p minimal.pot - -use_my_file_with_ignored_commands I would be glad if you can show me how to make this or point me to the paragraph in the documentation which I did not yet find. Thanks in advance! Greetings, Carsten [1] http://ubuntu-manual.org/ - -- Hier ist mein öffentlicher GPG-Schlüssel: http://daswaldhorn.piranho.de/gpg/
