This is probably also the reason why the Debian installation guide doesn't use po4a (translations_po.txt in installers svn: "We have chosen poxml as that gives better context (it does not split paragraphs) for translation."). > I think that the <option> tags should be moved over to the list of > 'inline' tags, I do not know the impact this might have in other > documents, however. > > Proposed patch: This patch works really fine. But why doesn't it work without this patch using options? I carefully studied the man page of Locale::Po4a::Xml and the following should work: po4a-updatepo -f docbook --master-charset=UTF-8 \ -m ../en/book/ch09-reference.xml -p de.po --previous \ -o doctype="book" \ -o nodefault="<option>" -o inline="<option>" (Called from within a working copy of http://svn.red-bean.com/svnbook/trunk/src/de/) Nevertheless I get: # type: Content of: <chapter><sect1><para><footnote><para> #: ../en/book/ch09-reference.xml:21 msgid "Well, you don't need a subcommand to use the" msgstr "" # type: Content of: <chapter><sect1><para><footnote><para> #: ../en/book/ch09-reference.xml:22 msgid "option, but we'll get to that in just a minute." msgstr "" which cannot be used as a sentence is split into two msgids. Also an additional -o translated="<option>" (or/and ommitting -o nodefault="<option>") seems not to help! I'm lost. Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
