輕鬆地維護文件的翻譯

The po4a (PO for anything) eases documentation translations and their maintenance. It extracts the translatable material from the original document, and places it into a PO file that is adapted to the translation process. Once this PO file is updated by the translator, po4a re-injects the translation into the structure of the original document to generate a translated document.

If the translation is only partial, the original (English) text is used instead for the missing parts. This ensures that your translated documentation is always both up to date with regard to the original one, and as translated as possible.

po4a automatizes all the translation maintenance with one configuration file containing the settings and a list of documents to translate. po4a will update them automatically when something happens.
