Locale::Po4a::Guide - convert Guide XML documents from/to PO files

The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

Locale::Po4a::Guide is a module to help in the translation of the Gentoo Linux documentation in the Guide XML format into other [human] languages.

This format is documented here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xml-guide.xml

This module is fully functional, as it relies in the Locale::Po4a::Xml module. This only defines the translatable tags and attributes.

The only known issue is that it doesn't include files with the <include href=\*(L"...\*(R"> tag, but you can translate all those files alone, and it's usually better to have them separated.
