Hi Fred!
I spend some time to add some functionality to the Makefiles which helps you
to update the po files automatically so old translations are not lost.
The command "make po-files" in a directory like "de/handbook/" updates the po
files in de/handbook/po/ using the POT template in en/handbook/pot/.
On my side this works. I hope this helps you working on the files. You spent
so much time on the docbook files so I like to help you.
Since the directory en/ has no .po translation files but .pot templates
running "make pot-files" in a dir like en/handbook/ updates the .pot files in
en/handbook/pot/. I hope this is useful.
I also added "make html-files" which generated the HTML files using meinproc.
So, if you update the .docbook files in en/handbook/unicode/ you have to run
now only the following commands in en/handbook/ to update the other files:
make pot-files
make html-files
If the translators get their files to translate them I run
make po-files
and after I got the po files back I run
make unicode-files
make html-files
to create the new docbook and html files.
Please let me know if something doesn't work as expected! I hope it's useful
for you,
Joachim
