Introduction to Po4a
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
In po4a each documentation format is handled by a module. For now, we have a
|
|
module for the POD format (in which the perl documentation is written), the
|
|
good old man pages, and the documentation of the kernel compilation options.
|
|
Some other modules are underway, like for sgml, xml or texinfo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
To install this module type the following:
|
|
|
|
perl Build.PL
|
|
./Build
|
|
./Build install
|
|
|
|
|
|
USE WITHOUT INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a version without installing it (such as the CVS one),
|
|
use the PERLLIB environment variable is such construction:
|
|
|
|
PERLLIB=~/svn-checkouts/po4a/lib ~/svn-checkouts/po4a/po4a-gettextize [usual args]
|
|
|
|
|
|
PO4A DEPENDENCIES
|
|
|
|
Locale::gettext (v1.01):
|
|
This module being itself internationalized, it needs the Locale::gettext
|
|
library to translate its own messages.
|
|
If it is not present, then po4a's messages won't be translated, but
|
|
po4a will remain fully functional.
|
|
|
|
Text::WrapI18N:
|
|
This module is used to format po4a's warnings and error messages. It
|
|
permits to wrap long error messages without splitting words.
|
|
If it is not present, the formatting of messages will be different,
|
|
but po4a will remain fully functional.
|
|
|
|
Term::ReadKey:
|
|
This module is used to retrieve the terminal's line width. It is not
|
|
used if Text::WrapI18N is not available.
|
|
If it is not present, the line width can be specified with the COLUMN
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SGML MODULE SPECIFIC DEPENDENCIES
|
|
|
|
SGMLS (1.03ii):
|
|
This is a set of Perl5 routines for processing the output from the sgmls
|
|
and nsgmls SGML parsers.
|
|
|
|
sp (1.3.4): James Clark's SGML parsing tools
|
|
This is the parser we use.

|
|
|
|
|
|
TEXT MODULE SPECIFIC DEPENDENCIES
|
|
|
|
Unicode::GCString:
|
|
This module is used to compute text width; it is needed by AsciiDoc to
|
|
determine two line titles in encodings different from ASCII.
