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
:-))

Ok, I'll see for working without atm.
Thanks && Greetings
