Then have an optional target > that installs translated pages? Something like "make > install-translations" seems appropriate. What do you think? Seems reasonable. We are not far from that now anyway. My patch of the install target in src/Makefile uses $(wildcard) so it only installs the translated pages that have been built. The translated pages are only built if po4a is available. So existing build environments should just see a new warning to install po4a if they want to build the translated pages. The po4a(1) manpage[1] also says:- Note: It is recommended to use [po_directory] rather than [po4a_langs] and [po4a_paths]. See section Autodetection of the paths and languages below. So, maybe I will look at incorporating that in man/po/po4a.cfg. Best wishes Mark [1] https://manpages.org/po4a
