Sure, but is there really a need to *force* up to date translation to be
handled with po4a ? Don't get me wrong, I really agree it would be an
improvement to handle translation with po4a, but if possible, it would
be nice to keep the ability to continue using directly WML in language
teams (at least for the beginning): convert existing translation is
still a manual process (well described in po4a(7)), so it would probably
better to provide an hybrid system: if the PO file exists, use it, if
not, use the "normal" translated WML file as usual.
The advantage of the hybrid system, will be to permit every team to test
the new system (find and fix some issues), and gradually upgrade to po4a
use (and once done, VCS issue won't be a problem to maintain up to date
translations since every information needed will be directly in the PO
files).

Thanks, I'm currently adding those previous remarks (and some other ones
I've in mind: disk space will double; a recent version of po4a should be
used to handle correctly addendum only if it exists, I think the
backported one will do, etc.)
Cheers.
