The main feature of po4a is that it decouples the +translation of content from its document structure. Please refer to the page +L<po4a(7)> for a gentle introduction to this project. + +The B<po4a-gettextize> script helps you converting your previously existing +translations into a po4a-based workflow. This is only to be done once to salvage +an existing translation while converting to po4a, not on a regular basis after +the conversion of your project. This tedious process is explained in details in +Section 'Converting a manual translation to po4a' below. + +You must provide both a master file (e.g., the source in English) and an +existing translated file (e.g., a previous translation attempt without po4a). If +you provide more than one master or translation files, they will be used in +sequence, but it may be easier to gettextize each page or chapter separately and +then use B<msgmerge> to merge all produced PO files. As you wish. + +If the master document has non-ASCII characters, the new generated PO file will +be in UTF-8. If the master document is completely in ASCII, the generated +PO will use the encoding of the translated input document. + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over 4 + +=item B<-f>, B<--format> + +Format of the documentation you want to handle.

The default is "VERSION". + +=back + +=head2 Converting a manual translation to po4a + +B<po4a-gettextize> synchronizes the master and localized files to extract their +content into a PO file. The content of the master file gives the B<msgid> while +the content of the localized file gives the B<msgstr>. This process is somewhat +fragile: the Nth string of the translated file is supposed to be the translation +of the Nth string in the original. + +Gettextization works best if you manage to retrieve the exact version of the +original document that was used for translation. Even so, you may need to fiddle +with both master and localized files to align their structure if it was changed +by the original translator, so working on files' copies is advised. + +Internally, each po4a parser reports the syntactical type of each extracted +strings. This is how desynchronization are detected during the gettextization. +In the example depicted below, it is very unlikely that the 4th string in +translation (of type 'chapter') is the translation of the 4th string in original +(of type 'paragraph'). It is more likely that a new paragraph was added to the +original, or that two original paragraphs were merged together in the +translation. + + Original Translation + + chapter chapter + paragraph paragraph + paragraph paragraph + paragraph chapter + chapter paragraph + paragraph paragraph + +B<po4a-gettextize> will verbosely diagnose any structure desynchronization. When +this happens, you should manually edit the files to add fake paragraphs or +remove some content here and there until the structure of both files actually +match. Some tricks are given below to salvage the most of the existing +translation while doing so. + +If you are lucky enough to have a perfect match in the file structures out of +the box, building a correct PO file is a matter of seconds. Otherwise, you will +soon understand why this process has such an ugly name :) Even so, +gettextization often remains faster than translating everything again. I +gettextized the French translation of the whole Perl documentation in one day +despite the I<many> synchronization issues. Given the amount of text (2MB of +original text), restarting the translation without first salvaging the old +translations would have required several months of work. In addition, this grunt +work is the price to pay to get the comfort of po4a. Once converted, the +synchronization between master documents and translations will always be fully +automatic. + +After a successful gettextization, the produced documents should be manually +checked for undetected disparities and silent errors, as explained below. + +=head3 Hints and tricks for the gettextization process + +The gettextization stops as soon as a desynchronization is detected. When this +happens, you need to edit the files as much as needed to re-align the files' +structures. B<po4a-gettextize> is rather verbose when things go wrong. It +reports the strings that don't match, their positions in the text, and the type +of each of them. Moreover, the PO file generated so far is dumped as +F<gettextization.failed.po> for further inspection. + +Here are some tricks to help you in this tedious process and ensure that you +salvage the most of the previous translation: + +=over + +=item + +Remove all extra content of the translations, such as the section giving credits +to the translators. They should be added separately to B<po4a> as addenda (see +L<po4a(7)>). + +=item + +When editing the files to align their structures, prefer editing the translation +if possible. Indeed, if the changes to the original are too intrusive, the old +and new versions will not be matched during the first po4a run after +gettextization (see below). Any unmatched translation will be dumped anyway. +That being said, you still want to edit the original document if it's too hard +to get the gettextization to proceed otherwise, even if it means that one +paragraph of the translation is dumped. The important thing is to get a first PO +file to start with. + +=item + +Do not hesitate to kill any original content that would not exist in the +translated version. This content will be automatically reintroduced afterward, +when synchronizing the PO file with the document. + +=item + +You should probably inform the original author of any structural change in the +translation that seems justified. Issues in the original document should +reported to the author. Fixing them in your translation only fixes them for a +part of the community. Plus, it is impossible to do so when using po4a ;) But +you probably want to wait until the end of the conversion to B<po4a> before +changing the original files. + +=item + +Sometimes, the paragraph content does match, but not their types. Fixing it is +rather format-dependent. In POD and man, it often comes from the fact that one +of them contains a line beginning with a white space while the other does not. +In those formats, such paragraph cannot be wrapped and thus become a different +type. Just remove the space and you are fine. It may also be a typo in the tag +name in XML. + +Likewise, two paragraphs may get merged together in POD when the separating +line contains some spaces, or when there is no empty line between the B<=item> +line and the content of the item. + +=item + +Sometimes, the desynchronization message seems odd because the translation is +attached to the wrong original paragraph. It is the sign of an undetected issue +earlier in the process. Search for the actual desynchronization point by +inspecting the file F<gettextization.failed.po> that was produced, and fix the +problem where it really is. + +=item + +Other issues may come from duplicated strings in either the original or +translation. Duplicated strings are merged in PO files, with two references. +This constitutes a difficulty for the gettextization algorithm, that is a simple +one to one pairing between the B<msgid>s of both the master and the localized +files. It is however believed that recent versions of po4a deal properly with +duplicated strings, so you should report any remaining issue that you may encounter. + +=back + +=head2 Reviewing files produced by B<po4a-gettextize> + +Any file produced by B<po4a-gettextize> should be manually reviewed, even when +the script terminates successfully. You should skim over the PO file, ensuring +that the B<msgid> and B<msgstr> actually match. It is not necessary to ensure +that the translation is perfectly correct yet, as all entries are marked as +fuzzy translations anyway. You only need to check for obvious matching issues +because badly matched translations will be dumped in subsequent steps while you +want to salvage them. + +Fortunately, this step does not require to master the target languages as you +only want to recognize similar elements in each B<msgid> and its corresponding +B<msgstr>. As a speaker of French, English, and some German myself, I can do +this for all European languages at least, even if I cannot say one word of most +of these languages. I sometimes manage to detect matching issues in non-Latin +languages by looking at string length, phrase structures (does the amount of +interrogation marks match?) and other clues, but I prefer when someone else can +review those languages. + +If you detect a mismatch, edit the original and translation files as if +B<po4a-gettextize> reported an error, and try again. Once you have a decent PO +file for your previous translation, backup it until you get po4a working +correctly. + +=head2 Running B<po4a> for the first time + +The easiest way to setup po4a is to write a B<po4a.conf> configuration file, and +use the integrated B<po4a> program (B<po4a-updatepo> and B<po4a-translate> are +deprecated). Please check the "CONFIGURATION FILE" Section in L<po4a(1)> +documentation for more details. + +When B<po4a> runs for the first time, the current version of the master +documents will be used to update the PO files containing the old translations +that you salvaged through gettextization. This can take quite a long time, +because many of the B<msgid>s of from the gettextization do not exactly match +the elements of the POT file built from the recent master files. This forces +gettext to search for the closest one using a costly string proximity algorithm. +For example, the first run over the Perl documentation's French translation (5.5 +MB PO file) took about 48 hours (yes, two days) while the subsequent ones only +take seconds. + +=head2 Moving your translations to production + +After this first run, the PO files are ready to be reviewed by translators. All +entries were marked as fuzzy in the PO file by B<po4a-gettextization>, forcing +their careful review before use. Translators should take each entry to verify +that the salvaged translation actually match the current original text, update +the translation on need, and remove the fuzzy markers. + +Once enough fuzzy markers are removed, B<po4a> will start generating the +translation files on disk, and you're ready to move your translation workflow to +production. Some projects find it useful to rely on weblate to coordinate +between translators and maintainers, but that's beyond B<po4a>' scope. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<po4a(1)>, +L<po4a-normalize(1)>, +L<po4a-translate(1)>, +L<po4a-updatepo(1)>, +L<po4a(7)>. + +=head1 AUTHORS + + Denis Barbier <barbier@linuxfr.org> + Nicolas François <nicolas.francois@centraliens.net> + Martin Quinson (mquinson#debian.org) + +=head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE + +Copyright 2002-2023 by SPI, inc. + +This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it +under the terms of GPL v2.0 or later (see the COPYING file). + +=cut + +use 5.16.0; +use strict; +use warnings; + +use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions); + +use Locale::Po4a::Chooser; +use Locale::Po4a::TransTractor; +use Locale::Po4a::Common; + +use Pod::Usage qw(pod2usage); + +our %debug = ( 'encoding' => 0, ); + +Locale::Po4a::Common::textdomain('po4a'); + +# This function produces one translated message catalog from two catalogs, an +# original and a translation.
