NAME
     gtranslator  --  a  comfortable  gettext po file editor with many bells and
     whistles.

SYNOPSIS
     gtranslator [ PO-FILE ]

DESCRIPTION
     gtranslator is a comfortable gettext po file editor with many features like
     special char featured editing, plural forms  view,  div.  charset	support,
     comfortable  prefs,  list view of messages, regular expression based search
     function, compile/update possibilities and much much more.

     Of course all standard features of a good application like DnD, session
     support, supplement files for mime types and menu items are present.

     Instant comment view, a comfortable quick navigation messages table with
     customizable colors, colorschemes, UTF-8 support, a high level of preferiz-
     abilation and a personal learn buffer/translation memory with autotransla-
     tion capabilities are the main features of gtranslator besides the comfort-
     able editing of the translation entries.

LEARN BUFFER
     The learn buffer is the implementation of	a  personal  translation  memory
     (TM) in gtranslator. gtranslator uses the UMTF (a compressed XML file which
     is  normally  quite good human readable if uncompressed) format for storing
     its learned strings.
     Your learned strings are then available for the autotranslation feature  of
     gtranslator  where gtranslator automatically fills in the corresponding and
     valuable translations for any message which has already been learned previ-
     ously. This results in a fairly high percentage of  prefilled/pretranslated
     messages.
     The common and good style of working with the learn buffer and with the au-
     totranslation  should  be	to  learn the main po/translation files for your
     language.
     You should learn the main po files (for GNOME for	example  gnumeric,  nau-
     tilus, evolution or any other bigger, already translated package's po file)
     for  your	language); you can use a new script from the gtranslator package
     to automatise  this  task	a  little  bit:  it's  "build-gtranslator-learn-
     buffer.sh"  which	is  installed into gtranslator's scripts directory which
     you can see by calling gtranslator -b and you  simply  execute  the  script
     with  its	full  path and simply follow the information on the command line
     for it.
     Afterwards you can simply use the "Autotranslation" menu entry from the GUI
     or use the "F10" hotkey to let gtranslator autotranslate all missing trans-
     lations from your personal learn buffer. This will  ease  your  translation
     work and make a big portion of the po files be pre-translated.
     With  a fairly big personal learn buffer of about 2 MB you can achieve many
     pre-translated messages for a new project/translation.
     If you want to use the stored learn buffer contents to produce  a	po  file
     with  all	the  "learned"	translations, you can also use the "export learn
     buffer" capability of gtranslator to get a plain po  file	version  of  the
     learn buffer.
