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
       preferizabilation and a personal	learn buffer/translation memory	with
       autotranslation capabilities are	the main features of gtranslator be-
       sides the comfortable editing of	the translation	entries.

OPTIONS
       --help Shows you	a little help autogenerated by GNOME.

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 correspond-
       ing  and	 valuable  translations	for any	message	which has already been
       learned previously. This	results	in a fairly high  percentage  of  pre-
       filled/pretranslated messages.
       The common and good style of working with the learn buffer and with the
       autotranslation	should	be  to learn the main po/translation files for
       your language.
       You should learn	the main po files (for	GNOME  for  example  gnumeric,
       nautilus,  evolution  or	any other bigger, already translated package's
       po file)	for your language); you	can use	a new script from the  gtrans-
       lator package to	automatise this	task a little bit: it's	"build-gtrans-
       lator-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 miss-
       ing translations	from your personal learn buffer. This will  ease  your
       translation  work  and make a big portion of the	po files be pre-trans-
       lated.
       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.
