Hello,
I have looked at https://techbase.kde.org/Localization but failed to
take too much from their site. Maybe Andy could outline how his system
differs from what po4a would come up with.
The difficulty I see is that the synchronisation between the original
and its translations is not supported. And it may be preferable to have
one translation system for everything.
Also, I am with J.M. that the roles of developers and translators should
possibly be kept apart a bit more. This way, it is easy to tell that a
translator with a quick introduction to git will not unintentionally
change something functional.
Best,
Steffen

Hi, Andy.
In my opinion, this solution has an drawback: the developer must take the
role of translator. And for several languages. I think it is potentially
dangerous, prone to errors and overload development work.
It's just my opinion.

worked last year I found many problems that were difficult to solve.
Example: the documentation of modules generated with halcompile.
I did manage to come up with a partial solution to this, which might
be practical in conjunction with gettext. Or might be totally
superseded by gettext.
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/andypugh/multilingual_comp/src/hal/components/abs.comp
Is an example of how a .comp file with multilingual documentation could
look.
(note that the language tags are _deliberately_ inconsistently
formatted for testing.)
It might be a better plan to hack halcompile to automatically
gettext-ify the docs, though.
