- files and work with a <i

- <span><b class="application">KBabel</b></span>
or
- <span><b

these

- In a terminal, go to the directory of the document you want to
- translate:
- </p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="command">cd ~/docs/example-tutorial</tt>

- Extract the translatable strings with xml2pot:

-<tt class="command">xml2pot example-tutorial-en.xml > <i

-</pre></li><li><p>

- </p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="command">kbabel <i

-</pre></li><li><p>
- Once you finish, it is necessary to convert the translated
- <tt class="filename">.po</tt> file to <tt
class="filename">.xml</tt>
- file in the target language with <tt
class="command">po2xml</tt>:
- </p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="command">po2xml example-tutorial-en.xml <i
class="replaceable"><tt>lang</tt></i>.po >
example-tutorial-<i
class="replaceable"><tt>lang</tt></i>.xml</tt>
-</pre></li></ol></div><p>
- The <tt class="command">xml2po</tt> filter does not include
entities
- in the <tt class="filename">.po</tt> file. You must change
the
- language of the document. Locate a line like the following near
- the top of the document:
- </p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="computeroutput"><article
id="example-tutorial" lang="en"></tt>
-</pre><p>Change the attribute to your language:</p><pre
