Omar finally finished translating the manual. Thanks a lot! > I've been "playing" and learning about po4a, but I know nothing about > docbook.

It cannot. According to http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/PO-Files.html "#." starts comments extracted from the source code, these are OK. The faulty one is "# type: Content of the dselect entity" and it is considered as a comments made by you. Gettext tools do not and should not remove comments added by the translator. Don't know where the "# type:" comments comes from, maybe a buggy po4a or gettext version? Very likely is also that an older version of gettext was used which didn't support "#." comments well. > As an experiment, I tried invoking ":g/.*#\ type.*/d" in Vim, in order > to delete all lines starting with "# type", with no avail, though (it > seems to me) that I started getting less mistakes at build time (or not, > not really sure). Such comments ("#" followed by space " ") should never result in build errors, really never. I suggest you remove these comments again and send a patch for inclusion. Ensure not to remove important comments added by yourself. > By coincidence, that very day I was trying to build the doc, getting > weird errors (and going nuts :) till Daniel sent that email.

Maybe it's time to switch to lynx -dump (and UTF-8 instead of latin1)?
