+To update inkscape.pot, delete it first and generate the target "inkscape_pot"
+(with "make inkscape_pot" or "ninja inkscape_pot" from your build folder),
+these commands should create it in the source directory
+
+
+
+WARNING:
+If new source files are added this is not sufficient!
+
+In this case please run
+ ./generate_POTFILES.sh
+This will update POTFILES.in with the list of current source files (to exclude a file add it to POTFILES.skip)
+
+Afterwards update the inkscape.pot file as described above
+
+
+
+TODO:
+- automate these steps within CMake
+- consider dropping intltool-update and use xgettext with proper options
+ (it should be able to handle most of our source files nowadays)
+- clean up this directory, evaluate which files are still useful (and document them / add targets to CMake), see
+ check-markup (and dependencies bad.po.test, bad.po.test.exp)
+ check_for_tutorial_problems.sh
+ language_statistics.sh (and dependency LINGUAS)
+ update_po_files.sh
