[Phpmyadmin-devel] Translating documentation using po4a

[Michal Čihař]

Hi all

as I use quite a lot po4a for translating documentation for my other
projects and I thought it might be good idea to use it for translating
phpMyAdmin documentation as well.

It parses input files (in our case it would be xhtml) and creates po
files from the content, each paragraph is one translatable string. This
way translators can translate string per string and the structure of
document is automatically kept from original.

I imported current translation to this system and it is in svn. French
translation is okay, but the others are horribly outdated, so po4a does
not generate document from them (by default you need to translate at
least 80% to generate documents).

If there is interest, I can add it to my web based translation system
(https://l10n.cihar.com/), so that anybody will be able to translate
over the web.

Comments?
