Why not convert this part of the document to the "man" format and
then use po4a to "gettextize" it?

The Locale::Po4a::Man module works well enough for me.

You could also use the txt2tags format instead of the Ruby
Document format as then the application txt2tags allow you
to convert the document to many formats including man pages.

Alternatively, pandoc can also convert a document in txt2tags
format to groff man pages.

PS to whoever in charge of the po4a website:
http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/
still mention only the release of po4a O.45, not 0.47
