The original files from manpages-fr and mapages-fr-extra have been merged into one pool. After the import, I've created the compendium files in po/fr/common/, filled them with translations (as far it was possible for a non-French speaker) and synchronized the compendium with the po files. Now we have 1385 po files, but 560 of them cannot be built to translated man pages because they don't reach the 80% threshold of Po4a. I've done all I could do, now it is up to real French translators to update the po files accordingly. The infrastructure inside po/fr/ already works; after checking out the Git repo you can use the scripts for interaction with the compendium, reformatting the po files and so on. The script public/generate-stats-page-fr.sh generates HTML files with a status table for all supported distribution. Sorry, currently it is still German, but it should be self-explaining. When editing po files, please keep the file headers intact. The current structure above the translatro names is needed for a proper addendum for the Groff-Mdoc files. Moreover, I need some additional help with creating the addendum for the Groff/Mdoc files. Please see the attached file scripts.pot and translate it to French. Currently it still doesn't contain all the things we need for the scripts; it will be extended in the near future. The Autotools stack for the package installation doesn't work yet, hopefully we get it working next weeks. Best Regards, Mario
