Firstly, thank you for your informative response. I was not aware of
the minimum translation ratio option before :-)
The latest binary package (0.6.4-1.2) still contains a German man page
with some parts German, most parts English. This is why I reopened
the bug.
I see that the build system has set the minimum translated ratio to 0%
(`-k 0') for as long as po4a has been in use [1].
~$ cat aptitude/doc/Makefile.am
...
po4a-dist:
-@cd $(srcdir) && po4a -M utf-8 -k 0 po4a/po4a.cfg
With the default of 80% instead:
daniel@io:~/src/aptitude/doc$ po4a -M utf-8 -k 80 po4a/po4a.cfg | grep
-e "^Discard"
Discard de/aptitude.xml (19 of 2543 strings; only 0.74% translated; need 80%).
Discard de/manpage.xml (84 of 375 strings; only 22.4% translated; need 80%).
Discard fr/aptitude.xml (1154 of 2543 strings; only 45.37% translated;
need 80%).
Discard fr/manpage.xml (132 of 375 strings; only 35.2% translated; need 80%).
Discard ja/aptitude.xml (779 of 2543 strings; only 30.63% translated; need 80%).
Discard ja/manpage.xml (110 of 375 strings; only 29.33% translated; need 80%).
Which leaves only en, es, and fi man pages translated.
I am not familiar with translation matters, though I can see that
having man pages very under-translated is not helpful enough to
justify inclusion. Perhaps this `keep threshold' needs to be raised?
That would be a separate issue to this one.
Whilst I am not opposed to closing this bug I think that it is useful
to keep it open, perhaps as a wishlist, to draw attention to the state
of the German man page.
