   3 ## Add a new .po file
   4
   5 To enable a new .po file, add its basename (in fact, the language code), to
   6 the first line of po4a.cfg:
   7
   8     [po4a_langs] de es fr pl uk
   9
  10 It is not crucial to sort the entries alphabetically, but do it anyway for
  11 better readability.

  13 ## Update the template and create translated files
  14
  15 This is done in one step using the following simple command:
  16
  17     po4a po4a.cfg
  18
  19 If there's something wrong with a .po file, the command will fail. In any case,
  20 have a look at the first line of po4a.cfg if all of the mentioned files are
  21 present.

  23 To the man page authors: Please don't forget to add your new man page to po4a.cfg!
