Well, this is also well hidden. From casual (brief) reading I cannot really see how this configuration file helps (I have an idea, but given the text its hard to see). I was looking for something like: If you want to manage multiple translations (e.g. in a spec file or deiban/rules) it is not sensible to issue the individual calls to po4a-translate ... but rather you should set up the following: ... For details about the above please refer to their individual man pages. I am not saying the documentation is bad (I haven't even read this part even seriously), but I grepped through po4a(1) and po4a(7) for a best practice or a debian/rules snippet (and similar keywords) and this text did not turn up. From reading the headline I would have assumed that this is for a defaults file, not for building. Anyhow I'll do the reading in the next days and especially looking at the examples given by you and then the next upload will (hopefully) contain a version available for the next one searching for examples :-)) > While po4a-build is only available since the latests po4a versions: > http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/p/po4a/po4a_0.38-1/changelog#versionversion0.37.0-1 Ok, I'll see for working without atm.
