Hmm...
Why I sent this bur report is, when I intended to parse an HTML file,
I got a following message:
nori1[11:38]% po4a-gettextize -v -f html -m test.en.html -l test.ja.html -p
ja.po
Unknown format type: html.
po4a::chooser: Module loading error: Can't locate Locale/Po4a/Html.pm in @INC
(@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)
at (eval 7) line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 7) line 2.
List of valid formats:
- kernelhelp: Help messages of each kernel compilation option.
- man: Good old manual page format.
- pod: Perl Online Documentation format.
- sgml: either debiandoc or docbook DTD.
- dia: uncompressed Dia diagrams.
- guide: Gentoo Linux's xml documentation format.
- docbook: Docbook XML.
- latex: LaTeX format.
- texinfo: The info page format.
So, I tried to use 'sgml' instead of 'html', but it was also rejected
like this:
nori1[11:38]% po4a-gettextize -v -f sgml -m test.en.html -l test.ja.html -p
ja.po
po4a::sgml: Trying to handle a XML document as a SGML one. Feel lucky if it
works, help us implementing a proper XML backend if it does not.
po4a::sgml: DTD of this file is unknown. (supported: debiandoc, docbook). The
prolog follows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"; >
Finally, I see an XML backend in the web page. So, I tried to use
'xml' and the conversion successed:
nori1[11:38]% po4a-gettextize -v -f xml -m test.en.html -l test.ja.html -p ja.po
This guide was highly indirect, although I know we have no problem if
we get a proper HTML backend. :-)

How about the status of an HTML backend, which worked well for my
simple document? Is it too young to be written here, and aren't HTML
documents supported by any modules?
For others, seems OK.
