Re: [perldoc2-developers] Why do we need .po-files?

[Joergen W. L. <joe...@gm...>]

Hi Gregor,

the whole point in using .po is that we do not have to split up the 
.pods ourselves. .po is an internationally accepted standard and a lot 
of editors (Emacs, etc.) support it.

Since an online-translation is only one of two options (people should 
also be able to check out "their" document, translate it, and resubmit).

There is no real "need" for .po - but it makes life a lot easier because 
it provides a lot of features we need, anyway (paragraph-splitting, 
fuzzy marks, id-ing for paragraphs, etc.). so why reinvent the wheel?

(I guess I really have to get the wiki going...:o)
