There is an unbreakable space hidden between "loaded." and "In". As this is not an ascii char, you have to specify the master document's charset with the -M option of po4a. However, as this char should be a normal space, it's better to fix the document than to add the charset switch. > - Is a POT file created anywhere? How would someone start a new > translation? Or does the "update-po" target handle that as well? Yes, make update-po architecture=foo creates a new PO if it does not exist. Note that the "architecture=foo" switch doesn't change anything if you use "bar" instead of "foo", but is needed due to the very architecture-specific build system of the release-notes. > - Could you add some documentation?

The version in sarge is too old (most of the debugging of the sgml module for the ddp has been done post-sarge). The version in etch is ok. Thanks for your comments, -- Thomas Huriaux
