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) Joergen Gregor Goldbach schrieb: > Hi list, > > now that we have a basic database layout and a few tiny scripts, I was > wondering why we need .po-files. > > We have the original paragraphs from the POD-files and the translated > paragraphs.
