po4a (PO for All) can do manpage-to-PO and back:
http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/
This is already packaged for Fedora -- to try it out,
yum install po4a
then to convert a manpage called cgget.1 into a PO file (for example, in
fr-FR):
po4a-gettextize -f man -m cgget.1 -p cgget-fr-FR.po
then, to apply the PO file to the manpage:
po4a-translate -f man -m cgget.1 -p cgget-fr-FR.po -l cgget.fr.1
(NB -- I don't know the naming conventions for translated manpages --
this is an example only).
Thanks a lot, Rudi! :-)
That's what I'm talking about.
Dimitris: you started this thread. What's the procedure to ask for a
new package in translate.fp.o?
The package I want to create is man-pages-es with multiple .po files.
kind regards
