[Po4a-devel] po4a-translate is skipping all translations

[Tony Houghton]

Hi,

I'm trying to use po4a to manage Spanish translations of roxterm's man
pages (generated from Docbook/XML), but I can't get it to work properly
because po4a-translate translates 0% of the strings.

Originally the translator produced an XML file before we knew about
po4a, so I used po4a-gettextize to produce a .po file, which appeared to
work perfectly. But I can't get po4a-translate to produce a translated
XML file from it.

I tried -v which didn't print any extra info at all, and then -d which
printed this:

~/roxterm/po4a $ po4a-translate -d -v -f docbook -m ../roxterm.1.xml.in -p roxterm.1.es.po -l roxterm.1.es.xml.in
readpo(roxterm.1.es.po)... done.
read(../roxterm.1.xml.in)...done.
parse...../roxterm.1.xml.in:47: (po4a::xml)
               Content of tag <refentry> excluded: <placeholder 
               type="refentryinfo" id="0"/>
../roxterm.1.xml.in:62: (po4a::xml)
               Content of tag <refentry><refmeta> excluded: &dhucpackage;
                   &dhsection;
../roxterm.1.xml.in:64: (po4a::xml)
               Content of attribute <refentry><refmeta><refmiscinfo>class 
               excluded: source
../roxterm.1.xml.in:65: (po4a::xml)
               Content of attribute <refentry><refmeta><refmiscinfo>class 
               excluded: version
../roxterm.1.xml.in:66: (po4a::xml)
               Content of attribute <refentry><refmeta><refmiscinfo>class 
               excluded: manual
../roxterm.1.xml.in:74: (po4a::xml)
               Content of tag <refentry><refsynopsisdiv> excluded: <placeholder 
               type="cmdsynopsis" id="0"/>
../roxterm.1.xml.in:125: (po4a::xml)
               Content of tag <refentry><refsect1> excluded: <placeholder 
               type="variablelist" id="0"/>
done.
Discard the translation of ../roxterm.1.xml.in (only 0% translated; need 80%).


Surely that shouldn't be enough to make it give up entirely?

I haven't subscribed to the list so please Cc all replies to me or let
me know if I should subscribe. And I expect it would help if you see the
XML and .po files, but I wasn't sure whether it's OK to post attachments
here, so please let me know.
