Finally I decided to give po4a a try to see whether it is usable for my
DocBook XML documents to manage translations.
I fetched a copy of the current CVS tree and tried it on one of my
documents:
$ po4a-gettextize -v -f sgml -m ../tex-refs/tex-refs.xml
gives me the following error:
po4a::Sgml: ../tex-refs/tex-refs.xml:57: Unknown tag REVREMARK
This should be easy to fix (if I understand the code): just include
this tag to the "translate" section for the "docbook" prolog.
Let me know how I can help to get a working solution for DocBook XML
documents. I know quite a few of people waiting for a workflow to
manage the translation of their documents.

Nice choice ;)

In order to fix your local copy, you can add this tag to your
lib/Locale/Po4a/Sgml.pm, around line 357. I'm sure that Martin or Denis
will commit a fix soon.

Well, I'm also interested on get it working. Currently there are some
issues around the docbook backend that prevent it from beeing fully
functional. For example, it doesn't understand some kinds of file
inclusion entities. It would be nice if you could send bug reports at the
alioth page about the bugs you find.
By my side I've begun working in a xml specific backend (almost anything
done) so that it makes the common work for the xml based documents (as
docbook xml, or dia). Then, the specific format modules would only define
what tags' or atributes' contents, and treat the extracted strings. I
expect having something working in a few weeks.

I've done this an finally get a po file (after adding some more
missing tags in Sgml.pm).

Should I submit a bug report with all the missing tags using alioths bug
tracking system?

I think it's not needed for these small things. Anyone with CVS access
will fix it when he reads these mails.

Indeed. The only problem explaining it's not done yet is that damn hard disk
crash. I kind of recover from it, but I seem to have lost my SSH keys in the
process, so commiting to the cvs is made harder ;)
But hold on, I'll do it very soon. It's on the very top of my todo list.
Sorry, Mt.

Done. At least.

That's a very good new ! You didn't told about that...

Well, I began working on it a few days ago, so it was the announcement :P
By now I'm stuck with some issues about perl syntax (I'm so new to this
language) but I hope I'll solve it soon. I'll try to send you something
this or next week (at least to know your opinion on the design).

Nope, I have no idea with regard to the design.
If I had to do so myself, I would give a try to sax parser, when you can attach
events to tags because that's the way the sgml module works. But of course, if
you are the one who does the job, you are the one who takes the design decisions ;)
The only limit is that sentences should not be splitted up in the middle just
because there is a damn <bold> tag in there. But you already know that...
Thanks for your time, Mt.

Thanks for the reminder! I forgot about it. By now I have a new Dia
module (around 20 lines of code :), based on the XML one, and it works
as well as the old one, but it's a very simple document format. I'll have
to base my work in more complex documents.
