+=head1 NAME
+
+po4a-gettextize - convert an original file (and its translation) to a PO file
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<po4a-gettextize> B<-f> I<fmt> B<-m> I<master.doc> B<-l> I<XX.doc> B<-p> I<XX.po>
+
+(I<XX.po> is the output, all others are inputs)
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+po4a (PO for anything) eases the maintenance of documentation translation using
+the classical gettext tools. 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. Use the B<--help-format>
+option to see the list of available formats.
+
+=item B<-m>, B<--master>
+
+File containing the master document to translate. You can use this option
+multiple times if you want to gettextize multiple documents.
+
+=item B<-M>, B<--master-charset>
+
+Charset of the file containing the document to translate.
+
+=item B<-l>, B<--localized>
+
+File containing the localized (translated) document. If you provided
+multiple master files, you may wish to provide multiple localized file by
+using this option more than once.
+
+=item B<-L>, B<--localized-charset>
+
+Charset of the file containing the localized document.
+
+=item B<-p>, B<--po>
+
+File where the message catalog should be written. If not given, the message
+catalog will be written to the standard output.
+
+=item B<-o>, B<--option>
+
+Extra option(s) to pass to the format plugin. See the documentation of each
+plugin for more information about the valid options and their meanings. For
+example, you could pass '-o tablecells' to the AsciiDoc parser, while the
+text parser would accept '-o tabs=split'.
+
+=item B<-h>, B<--help>
+
+Show a short help message.
+
+=item B<--help-format>
+
+List the documentation formats understood by po4a.
+
+=item B<-k> B<--keep-temps>
+
+Keep the temporary master and localized POT files built before merging.
+This can be useful to understand why these files get desynchronized, leading
+to gettextization problems.
+
+=item B<-V>, B<--version>
+
+Display the version of the script and exit.
+
+=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>
+
+Increase the verbosity of the program.
+
+=item B<-d>, B<--debug>
+
+Output some debugging information.
+
+=item B<--msgid-bugs-address> I<email@address>
+
+Set the report address for msgid bugs. By default, the created POT files
+have no Report-Msgid-Bugs-To fields.
+
+=item B<--copyright-holder> I<string>
+
+Set the copyright holder in the POT header. The default value is
+"Free Software Foundation, Inc."
+
+=item B<--package-name> I<string>
+
+Set the package name for the POT header. The default is "PACKAGE".
+
+=item B<--package-version> I<string>
+
+Set the package version for the POT header. 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.
