PO4A-UPDATEPO(1p)		  Po4a Tools		     PO4A-UPDATEPO(1p)

NAME
       po4a-updatepo - update the translation (in PO format) of	documentation

SYNOPSIS
       po4a-updatepo -f	fmt (-m	master.docE)+ (-p XX.po)+

       (XX.po are the outputs, all others are inputs)

DESCRIPTION
       The po4a	(PO for	anything) project goal is to ease translations (and
       more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
       tools on	areas where they were not expected like	documentation.

       The po4a-updatepo script	is in charge of	updating PO files to make them
       reflect the changes made	to the original	documentation file. For	that,
       it converts the documentation file to a POT file, and call msgmerge(1)
       on this new POT and on the provided PO files.

       It is possible to give more than	one PO file (if	you want to update
       several languages at once), and several documentation files (if you
       want to store the translations of several documents in the same PO
       file).

       If the master document has non-ASCII characters,	it will	convert	the PO
       files to	UTF-8 (if they weren't already), in order to allow non-
       standard	characters in a	culture	independent way.

OPTIONS
       -f, --format
	   Format of the documentation you want	to handle. Use the
	   --help-format option	to see the list	of available formats.

       -m, --master
	   File(s) containing the master document to translate.

       -M, --master-charset
	   Charset of the files	containing the document	to translate. Note
	   that	all files must have the	same charset.

       -p, --po
	   PO file(s) to update. If these files	do not exist, they are created
	   by po4a-updatepo.

       -o, --option
	   Extra option(s) to pass to the format plugin	and other po4a
	   internal module.  Specify each option in the	'name=value' format.
	   See the documentation of each plugin	for more information about the
	   valid options and their meanings.

       --no-previous
	   This	option removes --previous from the options passed to msgmerge.
	   This	permits	to support versions of gettext earlier than 0.16.

       --previous
	   This	option adds --previous to the options passed to	msgmerge.  It
	   requires gettext 0.16 or later, and is activated by default.

       --msgmerge-opt options
	   Extra options for msgmerge(1).

       -h, --help
	   Show	a short	help message.

       --help-format
	   List	the documentation formats understood by	po4a.

       -V, --version
	   Display the version of the script and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	   Increase the	verbosity of the program.

       -d, --debug
	   Output some debugging information.

       --porefs	type[,wrap|nowrap]
	   Specify the reference format. Argument type can be one of none to
	   not produce any reference, noline to	not specify the	line number
	   (more accurately all	line numbers are replaced by 1), counter to
	   replace line	number by an increasing	counter, and full to include
	   complete references.

	   Argument can	be followed by a comma and either wrap or nowrap
	   keyword.  References	are written by default on a single line.  The
	   wrap	option wraps references	on several lines, to mimic gettext
	   tools (xgettext and msgmerge).  This	option will become the default
	   in a	future release,	because	it is more sensible.  The nowrap
	   option is available so that users who want to keep the old behavior
	   can do so.

       --msgid-bugs-address email@address
	   Set the report address for msgid bugs. By default, the created POT
	   files have no Report-Msgid-Bugs-To fields.

       --copyright-holder string
	   Set the copyright holder in the POT header. The default value is
	   "Free Software Foundation, Inc."

       --package-name string
	   Set the package name	for the	POT header. The	default	is "PACKAGE".

       --package-version string
	   Set the package version for the POT header. The default is
	   "VERSION".
